Determine if the expressions are equivalent.

 12. 7+7x ;7(x+1/7)
In order to determine the equivalent expression, we simply needed solve first the expression 7(x + 1/7).

= 7(x + 1/7)

= 7x + 1

(Not equivalent)

 13. 2.5(3+x); 2.5+7.5
Do the same process.

= 2.5 ( 3 + x )

= 7.5 + 2.5x

(Not equivalent)
