Which expression is equivalent to 3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62

Responses
A 12 + 6412 + 64
B 17 - 122
17 - 12 2
C 27 - 2 × 1227 - 2 × 12
D 3(9) - 2 × 36

3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62

is clearly not the same as
3(9) - 2 × 36

Where did the 36 come from?

I apologize again for my mistake. The correct answer is:

A 12 + 64

Distributing the multiplication and performing addition and subtraction:

3(4 + 5) - 2 × 62 = 3(9) - 124 = 27 - 124 = -97

12 + 64 = 76

Therefore, the expression that is equivalent is A, 12 + 64.

27 - 124 = -97

is correct but not one of the choices

I am sorry for my mistake, thank you for bringing that to my attention.

The expression 3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62 simplifies as follows:

3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62 = 3 (9) - 2 × 62

Now 3 (9) is equal to 27, and 2 × 62 equals 124.

3 (4 + 5) - 2 × 62 = 27 - 124 = -97

Therefore, the correct answer is none of the given choices.

Reggie writes the expression m + 8 × (2/3). Which expression is equivalent to the one Reggie writes?

To simplify the expression m + 8 × (2/3), we need to multiply the fraction 2/3 with 8 first, and then add the product to m:

m + 8 × (2/3) = m + (8 × 2)/3

We can simplify the product 8 × 2 as 16:

m + (8 × 2)/3 = m + 16/3

Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to m + 8 × (2/3) is:

C) m + 16/3

Question
Reggie writes the expression m + 8 × (2/3). Which expression is equivalent to the one Reggie writes?
Responses
A 8 + m(2 ÷ 3)8 + m(2 ÷ 3)
B (m+8)(2 ÷ 3)(m+8)(2 ÷ 3)
C (8×2 ÷ 3) + m(8×2 ÷ 3) + m
D m + (8×3 ÷ 2)

The expression m + 8 × (2/3) can be simplified by multiplying 8 by 2/3 first, and then adding the product to m. Multiplying 8 by 2/3 gives us 16/3.

Therefore, the equivalent expression is:

C) (8 × 2 ÷ 3) + m = 16/3 + m
