1. The question asks if the simplified expression is equivalent to the right side of the equation. 2. To verify equivalence, substitute the simplified expression and the right side into the same variable values. 3. Simplify both sides independently and compare the results. 4. If both sides yield the same value for all variable values, they are equivalent. 5. Without the specific expressions, I cannot confirm equivalence. 6. Please provide the expressions to check equivalence precisely.
