Question

Which expression is equivalent to 27 + 45?

8(3 + 6)
8(19 + 37)
9(3 + 5)
9(18+ 36)​

Answer 1

9(3+5)

I'm not sure if this'll be right, but here goes. When there is a number before ( ) without a symbol in between, it means that you have to multiply the number (which in this case is 9) with each of the numbers in ( ) (in this case 3 and 5)

1) 9×3=27

2) 9×5=45

And that way you get the answer 27+45

Sorry if this was a bit confusing, I'm not actually English, so I didn't exactly know how to explain it :)
