Question

Which expression is equivalent to 9(3+8)?

Answer 1

99

Step-by-step explanation

Combine any like terms on each side of the equation: x-terms with x-terms and constants with constants. Arrange the terms in the same order, usually x-term before constants. If all of the terms in the two expressions are identical, then the two expressions are equivalent.

1) Add the values 3 and 8 to get 11 ( 9*11 )

2) Multiply 9 x 11 = 99

Answer 2

9*3+9*8 or 9*11
