-3y + x + 4
see explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
To get an equivalent expression, we need to write the equation in such a way that we can get the original expression. SInce the expression doesn't have an equal to sign, we will rewrite the expression.
Original expression: x - 3y + 4
Rewritting the expression, we can make the y come before the x term or make the constant (4) come before either the x or the y term.
Or we can leave the expression as it is.
making the y come before the x term and the constant respectively:
-3y + x + 4
making the constant come before the y and x term respectively:
4 + x - 3y
leaving the expression as it is:
x - 3y + 4
Also note we can multiply or divide the expression by 1. It will still be the same:
Multiplying: 1(x - 3y + 4)
Dividing: (x - 3y + 4)/1
Any of the above is an equivalent expression to x - 3y + 4
Let's pick: -3y + x + 4
