Decide whether 2 x + 8 and 2(× + 4) + 4 are equivalent expression. explain how you know.​

They are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+4)+4

first you distribute the 2.

2x+8+4

then combine like terms

2x+12

therefore they are not equivalent

They are not equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+4)+4

First you distribute the 2.

2x+8+4

Then combine like terms

2x+12

Therefore they are not equivalent

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will
