Task goals
- Identify whether two expressions are equivalent by collecting like terms or using substitution to check their values.
- Explain why $2x+3x$ and $5x$ are equivalent, and why $4a+4$ and $8a$ are not.
- Verify equivalence by expanding brackets and collecting like terms, such as showing $2(x+5)$ equals $2x+10$ but not $2x+5$.
- Use algebraic properties such as commutativity and associativity to justify that $3(a+1)$ and $3a+3$ are equivalent expressions.
