Answer:
the first one is equivalent and the second one is not equivalent
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first one do the distributive property first by distributing the the -2.
[tex]3x - 4.6x - 5 = 1.6x - 5[/tex]
collect like terms on the left side
[tex] - 1.6x - 5 = - 1.6x - 5[/tex]
they are equivalent.
The second equation do the distributive property first by multiplying by -3.
[tex]5 + 4.8x + 6.3 = 4.8x - 1.3[/tex]
collect like terms on the left.
[tex]4.8x + 11.3 = 4.8x - 1.3[/tex]
not equivalent
