Directions:
There are sets of rational algebraic expressions in the table below. Check the column
Agree if the entry in column I is equivalent to the entry in Column II and check the
column Disagree if the entries in the two columns are not equivalent.
If the entry in Column II doesnt match to the entry in Column I. Write your solution
to get the correct entry in Column II.
