Which of the following expressions is not equivalent to the others?explain.
A. 6(x-1)+5 B. 6x-1 C. 6(1-x)+5 D. 5+6x-6

Respuesta :

The answer is C. Explanation is below:

All of the equations equal 6x-1 when they are simplified except for C. the work is below:

a. 6(x-1)+5   →    Distribute the 6 times x and 6 times -1
    6x - 6 + 5  →    Now combine like terms
    6x - 1

b. 6x - 1       →     This is already simplified. 

c. 6(1-x)+5   → Distribute the 6 times 1 and 6 times -x. 
    6 - 6x + 5  → Combine like terms
    -6x + 11

d. 5 + 6x - 6    →   Combine like terms
    6x - 1
