Equivalent Algebraic Expressions
One algebraic expression can be written in several ways by applying known rules and theorems that modify expressions without changing its final value.
The expression:
1 + 2(x - 1)
Can be modified by applying the following operations:
Multiplying the constant by the contents in parentheses:
1 + 2x - 2
Collecting like terms:
-1 + 2x
Or, equivalently:
2x - 1
