Step-by-step explanation:

2. 10x - 3 + 2x - 5 and 4(3x - 2)

10x - 3 + 2x - 5

Upon simplifying;

10x + 2x - 3 - 5

12x - 8

4(3x - 2)

12x - 8

Both expressions are equivalent - Yes!

3. 3y + 3 and 9(y + 1/3)

9(y + 1/3)

upon simplifying;

9y + 9 (1/3)

9y + 3

3y + 3

Both expressions are not equivalent - No!

4. 6(3x + 1) and 9x + 6 + 9x

6(3x + 1)

upon simplifying;

6(3x) + 6 (1)

18x + 6

9x + 6 + 9x

Upon simplifying;

9x + 9x + 6

18x + 6

Both expressions are equivalent - Yes!
