The answer should be 2(2b+3)
I think A since working backwards and looking for a pattern wouldn't help, maybe C but im not sure
Answer and explanation:
They are not equivalent because if we simplify the second expression, the result isn't the same:
7(y×b)+3b
= 7(yb)+3b
=7yb + 3b
Therefore 7yb+3b≠7y+7b+3y
And even though you meant
7(y+b)+3b
=7y+7b+3b
=7y+10b
7y+10b≠10y+7b
3/5 × 15= 9
therefore 9 students packed lunch
