To determine which pairs of expressions are equivalent, let's simplify or rewrite each expression.

  1. 8⋅c + 40 and 8(c−5):

    • 8(c - 5) = 8c - 40.
    • So, 8c + 40 is not equal to 8(c - 5).
    • These expressions are not equivalent.
  2. 6(y + 3) and 6⋅y + 3:

    • 6(y + 3) = 6y + 18.
    • So, 6(y + 3) is not equal to 6y + 3.
    • These expressions are not equivalent.
  3. 12⋅t + 6 and 12(t+12):

    • 12(t + 12) = 12t + 144.
    • So, 12t + 6 is not equal to 12(t + 12).
    • These expressions are not equivalent.
  4. −5(a−1) and −5⋅a−5:

    • −5(a - 1) = -5a + 5.
    • -5⋅a - 5 = -5a - 5.
    • So, -5(a - 1) is not equal to -5⋅a - 5.
    • These expressions are not equivalent.

Final Conclusion: None of the given pairs of expressions are equivalent.
