which expression is equivalent to the expression below? 8(3y + 3z) - 3y answer 21y + 24z 14y + 11z 8(3y + 3z - 3y) 27y + 3z
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Apply distributive property
$8(3y + 3z)-3y=8\times3y+8\times3z - 3y=24y+24z - 3y$
Step2: Combine like - terms
$24y+24z - 3y=(24y - 3y)+24z=21y + 24z$
Answer:
A. $21y + 24z$
