(1 Point)
3(14a + 18b)
2(11a + 13b)
42a + 9b
42a + 546

Answer 1

6(7a + 9b) = 3(14a + 18b)

Explanation:

We need to find the equivalent expression for the given expression i.e. 6(7a + 9b).

We can use the distributive property here such that,

a(b+c) = ab + ac

We have, a = 6, b = 7 and c = 9

6(7a + 9b) = 6(7a) + 6(9b)

= 42a + 54b

or taking 3 common from the above expression.

= 3(14a+18b)

Hence, the correct option is (a).
