What is an equivalent expression?
Numerical expressions are numbers separated by mathematical symbols.

Numerical expressions are equivalent when they have the same value.
The equals sign (=) means that the expressions are equal or equivalent.
The additions 7 + 3 and 4 + 6 are equivalent since they equal the same amount.
The expressions 7 + 5 and 15 - 3 both have a value of 12. Thus, they are equivalent expressions.
