Q:

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to 36x + 9, 9(4x – 1), or (4 • 9x) + (4 • 2).

Accepted Solution

A:
Start with expressions in blue boxes:1st column) [tex]36x+9;[/tex]2nd column) [tex]9(4x-1)=36x-9;[/tex]3rd column) [tex](4\cdot 9x)+(4\cdot 2)=36x+8.[/tex]You have 6 expressions. Consider all them:1. [tex]36x+8[/tex] - 3rd column;2. [tex](9\cdot 4x)+(9\cdot 1)=36x+9[/tex] - 1st column;3. [tex](3\cdot 12x)-(3\cdot 3)=36x-9[/tex] - 2nd column;4. [tex]9(4x+1)=36x+9[/tex] - 1st column;5. [tex]36x-9[/tex] - 2nd column;6. [tex]4(9x+2)=36x+8[/tex] - 3rd column.
