If you reflect any shape across the x-axis and then rotate it 90° clockwise about the origin, do you get the same result as if you reflect it across the y-axis and then rotate it 90° counterclockwise about the origin? What does this mean?

Yes, reflecting a shape across the x-axis and then rotating it 90° clockwise about the origin gives the same results as reflecting it across the y-axis followed by rotating it 90° counterclockwise about the origin. This means these two sequences of transformations are equivalent.
