Ella completed the following work to test the equivalence of two expressions.

Question

2f + 3.6
3f + 3.6
2(0) + 3.6
3(0) + 3.6
0 + 3.6
0 + 3.6
3.6
3.6
Which is true about the expressions?
(1 point)
The expressions are equivalent because Ella got different results when she substituted zero for f.
•The expressions are not equivalent because Ella would get different results when
substituting different numbers for f.
• The expressions are not equivalent because Ella would get the same results when substituting different numbers for f.
• The expressions are equivalent because Ella got the same result when she
substituted zero for f.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the expressions is:

• The expressions are equivalent because Ella got the same result when she substituted zero for f.

Both expressions, when \( f = 0 \), yield the same result of 3.6, indicating that the two expressions are equivalent.
