Are the expressions 3−(4x+1) and 4−4x equivalent?

a. No, they are not because 3−(4x+1) simplifies to 2−4x , which is not equivalent to 4−4x.

b. No, they are not because 3−(4x+1) simplifies to −1x+1, which is not equivalent to 4−4x.

c. Yes, they are because both expressions simplify to 4−4x.

d. Yes, they are because both expressions simplify to 0.
