If we are supposed to give you like a life situation that matches the equation then I have one:
You have 42 watermelons and you need to divide them into equal groups. Let n equal the number of watermelons in each group. There are 6 groups in total. How many watermelons are in each group? (solve for n).
If this is not what you were looking for then my apologies.
Hey there! :D
So, we know that there are 3 z's and 3 6's.
3*z= 3z
6*3= 18
3(z+6) <== equivalent expression
3z+18 <== equivalent expression
z is by itself. It shouldn't combine. It should stay the same. 6 as a unit is separate from z.
Choices "B" and "E" are correct.
I hope this helps!

Hoi!
To solve this, first plug in the values for x and y.
x = 2, so anywhere you see x, put 2 in its place.
y = 3, so anywhere you see y, put 3 in its place.

4 × 2 = 8

× 3 =


=
is your answer.
