Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

−(−12−6x−3)

= 12 + 6x + 3

= 6x + 15.

So 3.5 − 6x  is not equivalent to −(−12−6x−3)

Both linear equations are not equivalent to each other and this can be determined by evaluating the equation (-(-12 - 6x - 3)) by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

Equations  ---  -(-12 - 6x - 3) and (3.5 - 6x)

The following steps can be used in order to determine the given equations are equivalent or not:

Step 1 - Write the given equations.

=−(−12−6x−3)               ---- (1)

= (3.5 − 6x)                  ---- (2)

Step 2 - Multiply -1 by (−12−6x−3) in the equation (1).

= 12 + 6x + 3

Step 3 - Add 12 and 3 in the above expression.

= 6x + 15   ---- (3)

Step 4 - Now, compare equation (2) and equation (3).

6x + 15 [tex]\neq[/tex] 3.5 - 6x

So, from the above steps, it can be concluded that both linear equations are not equivalent to each other.
