Question

Write an expression that is equivalent to (5z+ 16). (4 points)

Answer 1

The correct expression given is:
$\frac{3}{4} (5z + 16)$

Answer:
option D is the correct one

Explanation:
We will start by simplifying the given expression as follows:
$\frac{3}{4} (5z + 16)$

We will use the distributive property to get rid of the brackets as follows:
$\frac{3}{4} * 5z + \frac{3}{4} * 16$

We will now compute the multiplication, this will give us:
$\frac{3*5z}{4} + \frac{3*16}{4} \\ \frac{15z}{4} + 12$

This is the simplest form of our expression.
Comparing this with the choices, we will find that the correct choice is D

Hope this helps :)
