3. 16
Explanation:
Factor the numerator and denominator and cancel the common factors.
I’m not sure what the answer is but I hope someone helps you. Have a nice day‼️12
In (A), we have 9 : 2.
Multiply by 2, we get 18 : 4
In (B), we have 36 : 8.
Divide by 2, we get, 18 : 4.
In (D), we have 54 : 12.
Divide by 3, we get, 18 : 4.
Hence, (C) is not equivalent to the given statement.
Okay. So, what we do first is do the distributive property by multiply each number in the parenthesis by 3. When we do that, we get (6x + 12), because 3 * 2x is 6x and 4 * 3 is 12. Now, the numbers written out in long form is 5 + 6x + 12 + 6. 6x is in simplified form, because there is nothing that we can combine it with, but we do need to combine the whole numbers. 5 + 12 is 17, and 17 + 6 is 23. The expression in simplified form is 6x + 23. The answer is B.
