Consider the expressions 5 + 8k and 8k + 5. Determine why the expressions are equivalent.

Using k = 3 5 + 8k 8k + 5 5 + 8(3) 8(3) + 5 5 + 24 = 29 24 + 5 = 29
Using k = 5 5 + 8k 8k + 5 5 + 8(5) 8(5) + 5 5 + 40 = 45 40 + 5 = 45

Complete the statements.
If both expressions have the same value after substituting and simplifying two different values for the variable, then they are.

The value of both expressions when k = 3 is and when k = 5 is 45, so the expressions are.
