Yes, they are because both expressions simplify to 4−4x
.
Yes, they are because both expressions simplify to 4 minus 4 x .
No, they are not because 3+(4x+1)
simplifies to x+1
, which is not equivalent to 4−4x
.
No, they are not because 3 plus left parenthesis 4 x plus 1 right parenthesis simplifies to x plus 1 , which is not equivalent to 4 minus 4 x .

To determine whether the expressions \(3 + (4x + 1)\) and \(4 - 4x\) are equivalent, let's simplify the first expression:
Now we have \(4 + 4x\) and need to compare this to \(4 - 4x\).
Clearly, \(4 + 4x\) is not equivalent to \(4 - 4x\).
Therefore, the correct response is:
No, they are not because \(3 + (4x + 1)\) simplifies to \(4 + 4x\), which is not equivalent to \(4 - 4x\).
