The first pair shows equivalent expressions.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x+2), you would have to distribute 3 among x and 2, also known as expanding the expression. So you'd do 3*x + 3*2, which equals 3x+6

The first equation is 3 (x+2) = 3x+6

Therefore, the first pair shows equivalent expressions.
