Answer 1

Hey there!

The first expression is

5x+15

The equivalent expressions are

5(x+3)

- the opposite of the Distributive Property: 5(x+3)=5x+15

Plus

isn't 5*x+5*3 the same as 5x+15?

Yeah, it is :)

Hence, the equivalent expressions are

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Option\;A \;and\;Option\;B}}}`

`\rule{200}{2}`

In order to simplify this expression, we need to combine like terms:

11+12y-3-y

The y's are like terms:

11+12y-y-3

11+11y-3

Can you spot any other like terms here? That's right, 11 and -3:

11-3+11y

8+11y

Hence, the equivalent expression is

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{11y+8}}}`

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any other questions; if so, please comment.
