Question

Choose exactly two answers that are correct. Which expressions could complete this equation so that it has an infinite number of solutions? 9x-3(x+8)=?

A.6x-24


B.6(x-3)+6


C.14+5x-34


D.8(x-3)-2x

Answer 1

Answers A and D


9x − 3(x+8) [distribute] = 9x − 3x − 24 = 6x − 24 [combine like terms]


8(x−3)−2x = [distribute] 8x−24−2x = 6x−24 [combine like terms]
