Question

Which expressions are equivalent to 3x+3(x+y) A. 6x+3y B. 3(x+x+y) C. 3xy

Answer 1

Answer:

The Correct option is A. 6x +3y

Therefore,

$3x+3(x+y)$

is Equivalent to

$6x+3y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Which expressions are equivalent to 3x+3(x+y)

Distributive property:

The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

For Example A(B+C)=AB + AC  

Therefore,

$3x+3(x+y)$

Applying Distributive Property we get

$3x+3\times x+3\times y$

$3x+3x+3y$

Combining like terms we get

$6x+3y$

Therefore,

$3x+3(x+y)$

is Equivalent to

$6x+3y$
