Jade wants to verify that the expression 5(3x – 6) is equivalent to 15x – 30. She substitutes 2 into each expression and evaluates each one. How will she know if 5(3x – 6) is equivalent to 15x – 30? They are equivalent if the two values are the same.
They are equivalent if the value for 5(3x + 6) is greater.
They are equivalent if the value for 15x + 30 is greater.
They are equivalent if one value is negative and the other value is positive.

They are equivalent if the two values are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

i got it right on the test

step-by-step explanation:

good luck

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
