1 answer

To determine which pairs of algebraic expressions are not equivalent, we will simplify each pair.

  1. For the expressions \(x + 3 + 3y\) and \(x + 3(1 + y)\):

    • \(x + 3 + 3y\) is already simplified.
    • \(x + 3(1 + y) = x + 3 + 3y\).

    Both expressions are equivalent.

  2. For the expressions \(2(x - 1) + y\) and \(2x + y - 2\):

    • \(2(x - 1) + y = 2x - 2 + y\).
    • \(2x + y - 2\) is already \(2x + y - 2\).

    Both expressions are equivalent.

  3. For the expressions \(x + 4 + y\) and \(4x + y\):

    • \(x + 4 + y\) cannot be simplified to equal \(4x + y\).

    These expressions are not equivalent.

  4. For the expressions \(x + 4 + y\) and \(x + 5 + y - 1\):

    • \(x + 5 + y - 1 = x + 4 + y\).

    Both expressions are equivalent.

Conclusion:

The pair of expressions that are not equivalent is:

\(x + 4 + y\) and \(4x + y\).
