To determine which two expressions are equivalent, we can analyze the provided options:

  1. −3x + 7y: This can be expressed as \( 7y - 3x \) by rearranging the terms.

  2. −7y + 3x: This is not equivalent to \( −3x + 7y \).

  3. −7y − 3x: This is clearly not equivalent to \( −3x + 7y \) as it has different signs and different coefficients.

  4. 7y − 3x: This is equivalent to \( −3x + 7y \) since rearranging \( −3x + 7y \) gives us \( 7y - 3x \).

Thus, the two equivalent expressions are:

  • −3x + 7y
  • 7y − 3x
