Question

Help i asked everyone for help but hey don’t understand!

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Equivalent means equal.

For A: 3x + 2y and 3(x + 2y) are not equivalent because if you distribute 3 in the second expression then it'll be 3x + 6y which is not equal to 3x + 2y

For B: 32 + 16y and 8(4 + 16y) Again if you distribute the 8 in the second expression it won't be equal to the first one

For D: -2(x - y) and -2x - 2y are not equivalent because when you distribute the -2 with the -y in the first expression then it will be 2y not -2y

C is the only option that makes sense.

Answer 2

Answer: C

Explanation:

For
`4(3x - y)`, you must distribute the
`4` to each element within the parenthesis:

`4 * 3x + 4 * (-y)`

`12x + (-4y)`

`12x - 4y`
