Given:
The two expressions are
[tex](y\times 1)+2[/tex]
[tex]y+2[/tex]
To find:
Whether the given expression are equivalent or non-equivalent.
Solution:
If two expressions are looking different but they are equal after simplification, then they are called equivalent expressions.
The first expression is
[tex](y\times 1)+2=y+2[/tex]
The first expression is equal to the second expression after the simplification.
Therefore, the given expressions are equivalent.
