Question

Which is equivalent to 8x−y+3x8x-y+3x?

Possible answers:
a.11xy
b.(8+3)x-y
c.8xy+3x
d.(8+3)xy

Answer 1

b.
`(8+3)x-y`

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`8x-y+3x`. We are asked to find equivalent expression to our given expression.

Upon rearranging terms of our given expression, we will get:

`8x+3x-y`

Now, we will factor out x from both terms as:

`(8x+3x)-y`

`(8+3)x-y`

Therefore, the expression
`(8+3)x-y` is equivalent to our given expression and option 'b' is the correct choice.
