Question is incomplete, here is the complete question below:

Three students were given the expression shown and were asked to take a common factor out of two of the terms.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about whether each student's answer is an equivalent expression. Then choose an expression that is equivalent.

7-8x+22

Calvin: 7-2 (4x+11)

Calvin's expression is (correct/incorrect) because ...

Greg: 7+14x

Greg's expression is (correct/incorrect) because ...

Ruben: 7+2 (4x+11)

Ruben's expression is (correct/incorrect) because.

Equivalent Expression

The correct simplification of this expression is ...

Answer:

The correct simplification of this expression is 7-2 (4x-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin: 7-2 (4x+11)

Calvin's expression is incorrect because if - 2 is taken as common term then sign (+) should also be changed to (-)

i. e. 7-2 (4x+11) produces 7-8x-22 which is not equivalent to 7-8x+22

Greg: 7+14x

Greg's expression is incorrect because 7+14x is not equivalent to 7-8x+22

Ruben: 7+2 (4x+11)

Ruben's expression is incorrect because 7+2 (4x+11) = 7+8x+22 which is not equivalent to 7-8x+22

Equivalent Expression is 7-2 (4x-11)

The correct simplification of this expression is 7-2 (4x-11)
