Justify Reasoning Determine whether 3x + 12 + x is equivalent to 4(3 + x). Use properties of operations to justify your answer.

1 answer:

4 0

For 3x + 12 + x, do like terms:
4x + 12
For 4(3 + x), multiply
12 + 4x
They are both the same, just written in different ways. One is adding like terms and the other is multiplying with parentheses. Even though it may be switched around, it is still the same.

Hope this helps :)

Multiply the numerators together. Multiply the denominators together. Then reduce if necessary.

$\dfrac{first~numerator}{first~denominator} \times \dfrac{second~numerator}{second~denominator} = \dfrac{(first~numerator)\times(second~numerator)}{(first~denominator)\times(second~denominator)}$
