Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to see if the expression is equivalent, simplify it first.

1) Use the distribution property to simplify. Multiply each term within the parentheses by the number next to them. So, multiply both 2a and -5 by -7.

[tex]-7(2a - 5)\\= -14a + 35\\[/tex]

2) -14a + 35 is not equivalent to -14a - 35. The 35s have opposite signs. Therefore, the expression is not equivalent.
