Final answer:

The exact algebraic expression to be simplified is not provided clearly due to typographical errors. To identify an equivalent expression, you need to have the correct initial equation, which includes simplifying and canceling out common factors in both the numerator and the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression in question seems to be dealing with algebraic fractions and simplification. Due to a typing issue, the provided equation is unclear. However, based on the structure of the answer choices given (a. m−4/m+3, b. m+4/m−3, c. m+4/m+3, d. m−4/m−3), it appears to be a rational expression where both the numerator and denominator are polynomials, and the goal is to simplify it to its equivalent form.

Typically, you would combine like terms, factor where necessary, and then cancel out common factors in the numerator and denominator to simplify such an expression. Without the correct initial expression, any attempt at simplifying cannot be made. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the equation is presented correctly to proceed with the simplification.
