Question

what expression is not equivalent to 9x + 4y + 13 - 3x - y - 10

Answer 1

To determine which expression is not equivalent to the expression \(9x + 4y + 13 - 3x - y - 10\), we first simplify the given expression.

Starting with:

\[
9x + 4y + 13 - 3x - y - 10
\]

We can combine like terms step by step.

1. Combine the \(x\) terms:
\[
9x - 3x = 6x
\]

2. Combine the \(y\) terms:
\[
4y - y = 3y
\]

3. Combine the constant terms:
\[
13 - 10 = 3
\]

Putting it all together, we get:

\[
6x + 3y + 3
\]

Now to compare to other expressions, we'll need to see which of the given options is not equivalent to \(6x + 3y + 3\).

Please provide the possible expressions to compare, and I can help identify which one is not equivalent.
