Answer:
[tex]Not\text{ Equivalent}[/tex]Explanation:
Here, we want to solve the two expressions to check if they are equivalent
What we have to do is to collect the like terms
In the first expression:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8a-4\text{ + 2a} \\ =\text{ 8a + 2a - 4 = 10a-4} \end{gathered}[/tex]The second expression cannot be simplified further
In that case, we can see that the two are simply the not equivalent
