 * 1) 2- An equation is true if each side of the equation simplifies to the same value or expression. Is the equation (a + b)² = a² + b² true? Explain.

No. This equation is not true because in the first expression the sum of a and b is being squared. However, in the second equation b squared is being added to a squared. For example if a is equal to two and b is equal to three. (2+3)²=25 and a²+b²=13. The equation is not true.
