Explain how to determine if the two expressions are, equivalent using x = 6 and x = 10.
8x + 40
8(x + 5)

If both expressions have the same value after substituting and simplifying for x = 6 and x = 10, then they are equivalent. Substitute 6 for each variable, x, in both expressions. Use the order of operations to simplify both expressions. The value of both expressions is 88. Now, substitute 10 for each variable, x, in both expressions. Use the order of operations to simplify both expressions. The value of both expressions is 120. Therefore, the expressions are equivalent.

Sample response

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
