The pairs of expressions that are equivalent are:

- 2(3x + 1) and 6x + 2
- 3(x + 1) – (1 – x) and 2x + 3
- 3x and 4(x + 1) – x – 4

Therefore, the correct answer is:

2(3x + 1) and 6x + 2

3(x + 1) – (1 – x) and 2x + 3

3x and 4(x + 1) – x – 4

Note: The last option is not equivalent since 5.5 + 2.2x + 3.8x - 4.1 simplifies to 5.5 + 6x - 4.1 which is not the same as 1.4 + 6x.
