Sagot :

Answer:

no they are different numbers, however their signs are inverted

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+3 is not the same as 2x-3 because, let's say we set each equation equal to something...

-2x+3 = 10                   2x-3 = 10

     -3     -3                      +3    +3

------------------              -----------------

-2x = 7                        2x = 13

x = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]                               x = [tex]\frac{13}{2}[/tex]

x = 3.5                           x = 6.5

As we can see, these equations are not the same, because, when we set them equal to the same value, the answers are different.

Hope this helps! :D
