Latesha justifies whether the expression 4x-3 is equivalent to 1/2 (4x-6) - 2x (1-3) by letting x-2 in both expressions. which value should letesha compare to justify whether the expressions are equivelent

Given that Latesha is trying to justify if expression given by 4x-3 is equivalent to 1/2 (4x-6) - 2x (1-3). To this she needs to simplify the second expression first.

1/2 (4x-6) - 2x (1-3)

=2x-3-2x (-2)

=2x-3+4x

=6x-3

Now she will be able to compare:

4x-3 and 6x-3m, and she will use the the first terms of the equations.
