Answer:
x + x + x
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 3y and are asked to express it equivalently with the answers provided.
I will go over the flaws of each answer and single it down to the correct one.
x * x * x would equal x^3, since this is being multiplied.
x^3 is equal to x * x * x, therefore it is not correct.
x + 3 is not correct because you cannot add numbers or variables that are not like terms, so it would not equal to 3y.
x + x + x would equal to 3y because they are all like terms and do not form exponents.
