Algebraic
expressions can be
named in an infinite
number of different
but equivalent ways
(e.g., 2(x – 12) = 2x –
24 = 2x – (28 - 4)).

A given equation can

be represented in an
infinite number of
different ways that
have the same
solution (e.g., 3x – 5
= 16 and 3x = 21 are
equivalent
equations; they have
