4 (x + 2) = 4x + 2

Are these two Equivalent

no they're not

Step-by-step explanation:

4 (x+2) = 4x + 8

4x+2 = 4x+2

No they are not equivalent

First we would have to solve 4 (x+2)

In order to solve this we need to multiply. So 4*X is equal to 4x. 4*2=8 Therefore when solving Its 4x+8 ... and 4x+8 is not equivalent to 4x+2
