How to write equivalent expressions?

Equivalent expressions are different algebraic expressions that simplify to the same value for any given input. Understanding and identifying equivalent expressions is a fundamental concept in algebra.

Methods to Find Equivalent Expressions

1. Simplification: Simplify expressions by combining like terms and using arithmetic operations.
2. Distribution: Use the distributive property 𝑎(𝑏+𝑐) = 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑎𝑐 to expand or factor expressions.
3. Factoring: Factor expressions to show equivalence.
4. Substitution: Substitute values to verify that two expressions produce the same result for the same input values.

Identifying Equivalent Expressions
To determine if two expressions are equivalent:

1. Simplify Both Expressions: Simplify each expression as much as possible. If they simplify to the same form, they are equivalent.
2. Expand Both Expressions: If either expression is factored, expand it. If both expanded forms are the same, the expressions are equivalent.
3. Substitute Values: Substitute several different values for the variable. If the expressions yield the same result for each substitution, they are likely equivalent.
