Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets simplify both expressions:
We will start with Gloria's first expression:
[tex]1/4 (12x + 24) -9x[/tex]
Apply distributive property:
[tex](3x + 6) -9x[/tex]
Combine like terms, we are then left with:
[tex]6-6x[/tex]
Now lets simplify the second expression
[tex]-6(x+1)[/tex]
Apply distributive property
[tex]-6x-6[/tex]
Rearrange:
[tex]-6-6x[/tex]
Now we can see that the two equations are not equal, as the first is 12 greater than the second. Another way we could have tested this was plugging in a value for x and then solving.
