To find the single number that will make two expressions equivalent, we need to set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for the unknown number.

Since the expressions are not provided in the question, we cannot proceed without additional information. Please provide the expressions or clarify the question.
Find the single number that will make these two expressions equivalent. and 3.18 + blank
and -4.16(3x -2.8)+2.5
To find the value that makes the two expressions equivalent, we can set them equal to each other and solve for the unknown value.

3.18 + blank = -4.16(3x - 2.8) + 2.5

To solve for the unknown value, we can simplify the expression on the right side:

-4.16(3x - 2.8) + 2.5 = -12.48x + 11.648 + 2.5
-4.16(3x - 2.8) + 2.5 = -12.48x + 14.148

Now we can rewrite the equation as:

3.18 + blank = -12.48x + 14.148

To solve for blank, we isolate the term by subtracting 3.18 from both sides:

blank = -12.48x + 14.148 - 3.18
blank = -12.48x + 10.968

So, the single number that will make the two expressions equivalent is -12.48x + 10.968.
yhos arent a choice
Apologies for the confusion. The expression -12.48x + 10.968 is not a single fixed number but a variable expression in terms of x. It represents the value that needs to be added to 3.18 to make the two expressions equivalent, where x is the variable. Without a specific value for x, we cannot determine a single number that will make the expressions equivalent.
