I can identify when two expressions are equivalent by substituting values and comparing results.

📚 Part 1: Are They Equivalent?

Circle YES if the expressions are equivalent, or NO if they are not equivalent.

1. Are 5 + 3 and 8 equivalent?

YES

NO

2. Are x + 4 and 4 + x equivalent when x = 2?

YES

NO

3. Are 3 × 2 and 7 equivalent?

YES

NO

4. Are x + x and 2x equivalent when x = 5?

YES

NO

Use the given value to substitute for x. Then determine if the expressions are equivalent.

5. When x = 3, are x + 2 and 5 equivalent?

x + 2 = _____ + 2 = _____

So x + 2 and 5 are: equivalent / not equivalent (circle one)
