The expressions 3x + 14 - x + 112 and 4x - 134 are not equivalent.

The question is asking whether the expressions 3x + 14 - x + 112 and 4x - 134 are equivalent.

To determine if they are equivalent, we can simplify both expressions and see if they become equal.

Starting with the first expression, we combine like terms by combining the x terms and the constant terms: 3x - x + 14 + 112 = 2x + 126.

For the second expression, we subtract 134 from 4x: 4x - 134.

Since 2x + 126 is not equal to 4x - 134, the two expressions are not equivalent.
