What is the definition of Equivalent expression? Give two examples and explain why they are equivalent. 

Definition: Expressions that work the same even though they look different. Two algebraic expressions are equivalent, then the two expressions have the same value when we plug in the same values for the variables. 

Examples: 3(x+3) and 3x + 9     ||   6(x^2 + y +2) and 6x^2 + 6y + 12. They are all equivalent because the value of both expressions remains the same for any value of x.
