Answer 1

If both expressions have the same value after substituting two different values and simplifying, then they are equivalent.

When p = 2, the first expression is 4(2 + p) = 16 and the second expression is 14 + p = 16.

When p = 8, the first expression is 4(2 + p) = 40 and the second expression is 14 + p = 22.

The expressions are not equivalent since they do not always have the same value for different values of p.
