Step-By-Step Solution for Part 1:

  • 3(4p + 2) = 12p + 6
  • => (3 x 4p) + (3 x 2) = 12p + 6
  • => 12p + 6 = 12p + 6

Answer: Equivalent

Step-By-Step Solution for Part 2:

  • r + r = 2r
  • => 2r = 2r

Answer: Equivalent

Step-By-Step Solution for Part 3:

  • 2y + z² = y x y + z + z
  • => 2y + z² = y² + 2z

[Replacing y as 2 and z as 3]

  • => 2(2) + (3)² = (2)² + 2(3)
  • => 4 + 9 = 4 + 6
  • => 13 ≠ 10

Answer: Not Equivalent

Step-By-Step Solution for Part 4:

15n + 5 = 5(3n + 1)

=> 15n + 5 = (5 x 3n) + (5 x 1)

=> 15n + 5 = 15n + 5

Answer: Equivalent
