Six students are working to simplify the expression shown. Drag each student’s answer to a box to show whether it is fully simplified equivalent to the given expression but not fully simplified, or not equivalent to the given expression.

The arrows show the appropriate destination for your dragging.

Combining like terms in the given expression makes it simplify to ...

 (2x -18x) +(14y) +(9 -10) = -16x +14y -1

We are to compare this expression with the offered expressions to see if they simplify to the same thing. We'll examine those left-to-right starting with the top row:

2x -18x +14y -19 = -16x +14y -19 . . . not the same

-2xy -1 . . . not the same

16x +14y -1 . . . not the same

9 -16x +14y -10 = -16x +14y -1 . . . equivalent

-16x +14y -1 . . . equivalent and simplified

2x -18x +14y -1 = -16x +14y -1 . . . equivalent
