Which expression is equivalent to 36/(4 + y)?

Answer:

B) 36/(y+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the process of elimination.

A cannot work because we are changing the operation. Instead of dividing thirty-six by the sum of four and a number, we are dividing thirty-six by four, then adding the unknown number. This is not the same as the original expression, so we know it is not this.

Next, check C. C doesn't seem right either. Remember that, unlike multiplication and addition, you cannot flip the order in which the operation is being done and still get the same answer. C says four plus a number divided by thirty-six, which is entirely different from our original expression. So the answer is not C.

And finally, check D. D doesn't work either. With D, we are dividing thirty-six by a number, then adding it to thirty-six divided by four. This is not the same as our original expression, so D isn't it.

That leaves us with B. Does it work? Yes, because changing the y and the four still will give the same thing. And yes, because 36 is being divided by the sum of that number and four. So it is our answer.
