Given:
The expression is:

To find:
Part A: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 23.
Part B: The expression using parentheses so that the expression equals 3.
Solution:
Part A:
In option A,

[Using BODMAS]

In option B,

[Using BODMAS]

In option C,


In option D,

[Using BODMAS]

After the calculation, we have
and
.
Therefore, the correct options are B and D.
Part B: From part A, it is clear that

Therefore, the correct option is C.
A= (1/2) b*h
h=3 sqrt3
A= (1/2)*6*3sqrt3
A= 9sqrt3 square inches
Answer: Graph D (bottom right corner)
======================================================
Explanation:
The equation y = 3x+3 is in slope intercept form y = mx+b
m = 3 = slope
b = 3 = y intercept
In this case, both the slope and y intercept are the same (though in general they tend not to be).
The positive slope value means the line goes uphill as you move from left to right. The positive y intercept means the diagonal line crosses the y axis somewhere above the horizontal x axis. Specifically, it crosses the y axis at y = 3
Graph D is the only graph that has such a line on it. Graphs A, B and C have the positive slope line where they have a negative y intercept, so we can rule them out.
You can use graphing tools such as Desmos or Geogebra to help confirm this answer. You could also make a table of values, and plot each point, to form the lines. Two points is the minimum amount needed to form any line.
