Question

Which of the following are equivalent to 9x - 27?

Answer 1

A and B are correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

1) 9(x - 3) = 9x - 27. So, 1) applies.

2) 3(3x - 9) = 9x - 27. So, 2) applies.

3) x(9x - 3) = 9$x^{2}$ - 3x. So, 3) dosn't apply.

4) 3(3x - 7) = 9x - 21. S0, 4) dosn't apply.

5) 3(x - 9) = 3x - 27. So, 5) also dosn't apply.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 9(x - 3) = 9x - 27. So, 1) applies.

2) 3(3x - 9) = 9x - 27. So, 2) applies.

3) x(9x - 3) = 9$x^{2}$ - 3x. So, 3) dosn't apply.

4) 3(3x - 7) = 9x - 21. S0, 4) dosn't apply.

5) 3(x - 9) = 3x - 27. So, 5) also dosn't apply.
