How to find Equivalent Expressions
Equivalent Expressions are expressions that are equal to each other even though they may look different. In math, this means that you can use substitution for the variable to get the same answer. For example, if you substitute the same value in for x into two expressions and you get the same simplified answer, then you know that the expressions are equivalent. Another way to determine Equivalent Expressions is to manipulate the expressions into more simplified forms and then check to see if they are the same expression. To accomplish this you can Combine Like Terms, use the Distributive Property, and Evaluate Expressions.
