Answer:
A) x² + 7x - 12 is NOT equivalent to the expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) expand by distributing terms.
[tex] {x }^{2} - 3x + 4(x - 3)[/tex]
2) Expand by distributing terms.
[tex] {x}^{2} - 3x + 4x - 12[/tex]
3) Collect like terms.
[tex] {x}^{2} + ( - 3x + 4x) - 12[/tex]
4) Simplify.
[tex] {x}^{2} + x - 12[/tex]
The second equation are equivalent to the equation. but the first equation is not equivalent to the main equation.
