Which expression is equivalent to 2(8+6) choose all that apply.
A. 2(8) + 2(6)
B. 2(14)
C. 16 + 12
D. 22
C. 16 + 12
To find the expression that is equivalent to 2(8+6), we first simplify the expression inside the parentheses, and then we multiply the result by 2.
Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
8 + 6 = 14
Step 2: Multiply the simplified result by 2.
2 * 14 = 28
Therefore, the expression equivalent to 2(8+6) is 28.
Now, let's check each option to see which one is equivalent to 2(8+6).
A. 2(8) + 2(6)
= 16 + 12
= 28
B. 2(14)
= 28
C. 16 + 12
= 28
D. 22
Out of the options, options A, B, and C are all equivalent to 2(8+6), which is 28. Option D, 22, is not equivalent. Therefore, the correct answers are A, B, and C.
