Two algebraic expressions that have the same value regardless of the number that is substituted for the same variables in the expressions

This is the first one, is it understandable?

Equivalent expressions can be written in more than one way

The properties of operations can be used to write equivalent expressions

Examples:


6(3y+(1)/(3))and_{\text{ }}2+18y
5.7x+3.1+0.4x_{\text{ }}and_{\text{ }}5.7x+0.4x+3.1
42x-18_{\text{ }}and_{\text{ }}6(7x-3)

Non examples:


\begin{gathered} 8m+4_{\text{ }}and_{\text{ }}12m \\ 4n+6_{\text{ }}and_{\text{ }}4(n+1) \\ (3x\cdot2)+5_{\text{ }}and_{\text{ }}3x\cdot(2+5) \end{gathered}
