Let's fill in the blanks correctly:
### First Expression:
-2 (4x + 2/3)
When substituting \(x = 1\):
-2 (4(1) + 2/3)
-2 (4 + 2/3)
-2 (12/3 + 2/3)
-2 (14/3)
Calculating this gives:
\(-2 * \frac{14}{3} = -\frac{28}{3}\)
### Second Expression:
-8x + 4/3
When substituting \(x = 1\):
-8(1) + 4/3
-8 + 4/3
\(-24/3 + 4/3\)
\(-\frac{24}{3} + \frac{4}{3} = -\frac{20}{3}\)
Now we compare:
- The first expression gives us \(-\frac{28}{3}\).
- The second expression gives us \(-\frac{20}{3}\).
So, the expressions are **not equivalent**.
### Second Check - Expanding the First Expression:
Let's re-check:
-2 (4x + 2/3) expands to:
-2 * 4x + (-2) * (2/3)
-8x - 4/3
Now we compare this with:
-8x + 4/3 which we know does not match because:
-8x - 4/3 is not the same as -8x + 4/3.
Therefore, the conclusion is:
These two expressions **are not equivalent**.
### Final Result:
- The first expression evaluates to \(-\frac{28}{3}\).
- The second expression evaluates to \(-\frac{20}{3}\).
- Upon expansion, \(-2 (4x + 2/3)\) evaluates to \(-8x - 4/3\), confirming the expressions are not equivalent.
So, indeed, **the expressions are not equivalent**.

### Second Expression:
-8x + 4/3
When substituting \(x = 1\):
-8(1) + 4/3
-8 + 4/3
\(-24/3 + 4/3\)
\(-\frac{24}{3} + \frac{4}{3} = -\frac{20}{3}\)
Now we compare:
- The first expression gives us \(-\frac{28}{3}\).
- The second expression gives us \(-\frac{20}{3}\).
So, the expressions are **not equivalent**.

So, indeed, **the expressions are not equivalent**.
