Best Answer

It means that two expressions represent the same number; for example, 5 is equivalent to 3 + 2.

If there are variables in the expression, it means that the two expressions will evaluate to the same number, for any value assigned to the variable or variables. For example, for any value of x, 2x is the same as x + x; therefore, the two are equivalent.
