are this 2 equations the same NIE? and if not how come?

Yes, they are the same.
well how do you work them out?
Please help me! i have no clue how to do this and its for my hw!
1. Write and balance the molecular equation.
2. Separate the molecular equation into ions using the following rules:
a) gases are written as molecules.
b) insoluble materials are written as molecules.
c) weak electrolytes are written as molecules.
d) all others are written as ions.
From above:
Step 1. NH3 + CH3COOH ==> CH3COONH4
Step 2. NH3 + CH3COOH ==> CH3COO^- + NH4^+
Note: I like to see the phases included although the problem doesn't ask for that.
NH3(aq) + CH3COOH(aq) ==> CH3COO^-(aq) + NH4^+(aq)
