To prove that the two algebraic expressions are equivalent, we can simplify each expression and compare the results.

Expression 1: \( x - 5x + 3 \)

  1. Combine like terms: \[ x - 5x = -4x \] So, \[ -4x + 3 \]

Expression 2: \( 2x^2 - x^2 - 2x - 20 + 9 \)

  1. Start by combining the \( x^2 \) terms: \[ 2x^2 - x^2 = x^2 \]
  2. Now, simplify the expression: \[ x^2 - 2x - 20 + 9 = x^2 - 2x - 11 \]

Comparison:

  • Expression 1: \( -4x + 3 \)
  • Expression 2: \( x^2 - 2x - 11 \)

Since neither expressions simplify to a common form, they are not equivalent.

In conclusion: Expression 1 yields a linear expression while Expression 2 yields a quadratic expression, indicating they are algebraically distinct.
