Question

1 fill in the blank 5 points brandon is shown two expressions, 2(4x+3) and 12x-2. brandon claims that the expressions are equivalent because when x = 2 both expressions are equal to 22. to show that brandon’s claim is false, evaluate each expression when x = 3. enter the value of 2(4x+3) when x = 3. enter your response in the first response box. enter the value of 12x-2 when x = 3. enter your response in the second response box. answer: choose your answer... answer: choose your answer...

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x=3 into 2(4x+3)

$2(4\times3 + 3)$

Step2: Simplify inside parentheses first

$2(12 + 3) = 2(15)$

Step3: Calculate the final value

$2\times15 = 30$

Step4: Substitute x=3 into 12x-2

$12\times3 - 2$

Step5: Calculate multiplication then subtraction

$36 - 2 = 34$

Answer:

First box: 30
Second box: 34
