__**Equivalent Expressions**__
by: Perry

An Equivalent expression is when you solvet an equation in it's simplest form. An example of this can be seen in the problem a2 + 2ab + b2. When you put this expression in it's simplest form you will have the equation (a+b)2. When you substitute in both problems with the same numbers no matter what you will have the same answers. So if you made a=2 and b=4 and substitute in both problems you will end up with (2+4)2 which will be equal to 22+2x2x4+42. In the end both after working out the equations both of your answers will come out similar with the answer being 36.
