Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Two sets are equal if they contain exactly the same elements, regardless of the order. The sets {1, 2, 3, ..., 10} and {10, 9, 8, ..., 1} contain the same elements, just in reverse order, so they are equal. Since they have the same number of elements, they are also equivalent.
