Question

Simplify: x(2.25+1.25+0.75)

Answer 1

D.

Explanation:

x(2.25+1.25+0.75)

since the parentheses have same variable (no variable in fact), add, then multiply

x(3.5+0.75)

x(4.25)

4.25x

D.

Answer 2

The simplified expression is
`\(4.25x\)`, and the correct answer is: D.
`\(4.25x\)`

To simplify the expression \(x(2.25 + 1.25 + 0.75)\), distribute the \(x\) to each term inside the parentheses and then combine like terms:

`\[ x(2.25 + 1.25 + 0.75) = x \cdot 2.25 + x \cdot 1.25 + x \cdot 0.75 \]`

Combine the coefficients:

`\[ 2.25x + 1.25x + 0.75x \]`

Combine the \(x\)-terms:

`\[ 4.25x \]`

Therefore, the simplified expression is
`\(4.25x\)`, and the correct answer is: D.
`\(4.25x\)`
