Question

Which expression is equivalent to 2(a+3) when a= 3? A 2(3)B 5(3) C 2(3)+3 D 2(3)+6​

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe it'll be D.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+3) would be 2(3+3). Following PEMDAS, it'll be 2(6), or in other words 12.

In the answer D, 2(3) would equal 6. And 6 + 6 equals 12.
