Expression B. 8+4

A. The value of expression B is 3 times the value of expression A.

D. The value of expression B is 3 times more than the value of expression A.
​

Answer 1

Both B and C should be correct

Explanation:

I'm assuming the x in Expression A is a multiplication symbol. If it is not, please tell me and I will change my answer.

Expression B has the value of 8+4 or 12.

Expression A is 3 times (8+4). You could also say that Expression A is 3 times Expression B.

Since both answer B and C say this, they should both be correct.
