Without answer choices, equivalent expression could be (5x12)+36 or 6(6+10). For the first one you multiply using order of operations meaning you complete the parenthesis first, 5 multiplied by 12 is 60 and you add 36 to get the same answer as the actual equation for the second equation I used factoring to bring it together meaning if you multiply 6 by 6 it is 36 and if you multiply 6 by 10 you have 60 making it 36+60 and equivalent to the actual question.
