Question

Which expression will you generate if you apply the Distributive Property and combine the like terms in the expression x + 3y − y + 3x + 2(2 + 4 + y)?

A: 5x+8y+15

B: 4x+4y+12

C: 4x+3y+24

D: x+3y+14

Answer 1

apply the Distributive Property and combine like terms in the expression

x + 3y − y + 3x + 2(2 + 4 + y)

= 4x + 2y+ 12 + 2y

= 4x + 4y + 12

answer

B: 4x+4y+12

Answer 2

apply the Distributive Property and combine like terms in the expression

x + 3y − y + 3x + 2(2 + 4 + y)
= 4x + 2y+ 12 + 2y
= 4x + 4y + 12

answer

B: 4x+4y+12
