Question

Determine the equivalent expression. Apply the distributive property and then combine like terms. Look at each step to see which are equivalent. Select all that apply 8+3(2x+5)

Answer 1

The given expression is

`8+3(2x+5)`
`Use\text{ the distribustive law , a}*(b+c)=a* b+a* c.`

`8+3(2x+5)=8+3(2x)+3(5)`

The first option is correct.

`8+3(2x+5)=8+6x+15`

The fourth option is correct.

Adding 8 and 15, we get

`8+3(2x+5)=23+6x`

The second option is correct.
