D is equivalent because brackets don’t change anything here
We do so to follow the rule of divisibility of each term(numbers).
<h2 /><h3><u>The Rule of Divisibility:</u></h3>
The rule of divisibility of numbers is a method applied in mathematics used to determine if a number or set of numbers is divisible by a particular integer without any remainder.
Let assume that we have a series of numbers;
From the rule of divisibility, since all the numbers are multiples of 2;
We can deduce that 2 can be the factor that is pulled out from the series to divide each term in the sum.

When parentheses are around a number being squared, the output value will always be positive.
For example: -2² vs (-2)²
-2² means the <em>negative of the square of two</em>, or -4
(-2)² means the <u /><em>square of negative two</em>, or 4

36 x 3/9.
3/9 = 0.33
0.33 x 36 = 12
