Question

Which expression is equivalent to 20+64

a.4+(16+60)
b.4+(5+16)
c.4+(16+60)
d.4(5+16)​

Answer 1

D. 4 (5 + 16)

Explanation:

20 + 64 = 84

To solve this problem we have to simplify each of the expressions in the answer column:

A. = 80

(16 + 60 = 76) giving us

4 + 76 = 80

B. = 25

(5 + 16 = 21)

4 + 21 = 25

C. = 80

(16 + 60 = 76)

4 + 76 = 80

D. = 84

(5 + 16 = 21)

4 x 21 = 84

So The correct option is D. 4 (5 + 16)
