Answer 1

I don't see the list of possible responses to choose from. Please either

- paste the full list of answer choices here, or
- paste the two expressions shown in the two boxes you need to match.

If you want to check whether two algebraic expressions are equivalent yourself, you can use either of these quick methods:

1. Expand and simplify both expressions (distribute, combine like terms). If they simplify to the same simplified form, they are equivalent.
2. Factor both expressions; if they factor to the same factored form (up to order and sign), they are equivalent.
3. Substitute several different values for the variable(s) (e.g., x = 0, 1, 2, −1). If both expressions give the same result for all tested values, they are likely equivalent (and you can test enough values to be confident).

If you paste the choices I’ll pick the correct pair and show the steps.
