How to solve you question!

First, combine multiplied terms into a single fraction.

Like this! (click first file)

sorryyy, i had to do it virtually bc i couldnt find a pencil -.-

then, multiply it by 1.

Like dis! (click second file)

Then, find the common denominator. :>

like dis!!

(obvi, click the third file)

Then, your solution will be dis. (click fourth file.)

Now that we know our solution for the first one, lets do the second one now.

now, if you have the same answers for both, that means, yes, they are equivalent. If no, they are not. If this helped you, please answer my one question of my profile. Thanks!!
