Problem 3

Match each expression in the first list with an equivalent expression from the second list.

A:

\(6(x+2y) - 2(y-2x)\)

B:

\(2.5(2x+4y) - 5(4y-x)\)

C:

\(4(5x-3y) - 10x + 6y\)

D:

\(5.5(x+y) - 2(x+y) + 6.5(x+y)\)

E:

\(7.9(5x+3y) - 4.2(5x +3y) - 1.7(5x +3y)\)

1:

\(10(x-y)\)

2:

\(10(x+y)\)

3:

\(10x+6y\)

4:

\(10x-6y\)
