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

1 answer

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.
