Question

Which of the following statements is equivalent to 18 + 6?

3(15+3)
3(6+2)
3(5+3)
3+ (15+3)

Answer 1

Answer: 3(6+2), 3(5+3)

Explanation:

Since 18+6 equals 24, you need to find the answers that are equivalent to 24.

3(6+2)

If you do order of operations, it would look like this

3(6+2)

3(8) or 3x8

24

3(5+3)

5+3 equals 8, so this is the same as the first answer.
