Let's simplify the expression 108a − 14(a − 2):
1. Distribute the -14 across (a − 2) to get:
108a − 14a + 28
2. Combine like terms (108a and -14a):
94a + 28
Now we can compare the simplified expression to the original expression 94a + 28:
94a + 28 ≟ 94a + 28
Since the left side of the original question is the simplified form of the right side, the two expressions are indeed equivalent.
Therefore, the correct response is:
Yes, because 108a−14(a−2) simplifies to 94a+28.
