Question

9(3a+8)
give the right answer please

Answer 1

27a + 72

Explanation:

9(3a + 8)

Using the distributive property, we can multiply 9 by everything in parentheses, which now gives us: 27a + 72

We cannot simplify this further, as we have an unknown value in the variable a, thus we cannot apply 72 to 27a, or inverse.

Meaning that, the answer is 27a + 72

Answer 2

27a + 72

Explanation:

Open the brackets

9(3a) + 9(8)

27a +72
