Which of the following is equivalent to 18 more than the product of 9−6p and p−2 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 3(7p+6)(B) −3p(2p−7)(C) (27−6p)(p−2)(D) (9−6p)(p+16)
Q. Which of the following is equivalent to 18 more than the product of 9−6p and p−2 ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 3(7p+6)(B) −3p(2p−7)(C) (27−6p)(p−2)(D) (9−6p)(p+16)
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to find an expression that is equivalent to 18 more than the product of (9−6p) and (p−2).
Calculate the product: Calculate the product of (9−6p) and (p−2).(9−6p)(p−2)=9(p−2)−6p(p−2)=9p−18−6p2+12p=−6p2+21p−18
Add 18 to the product: Add 18 to the product to get the equivalent expression.−6p2+21p−18+18=−6p2+21p
Check the answer choices: Check the answer choices to see which one matches the equivalent expression.(A) 3(7p+6)=21p+18 (This does not match because of the extra +18)(B) −3p(2p−7)=−6p2+21p (This matches our equivalent expression)(C) (27−6p)(p−2) (This expands to a different expression)(D) (9−6p)(p+16) (This expands to a different expression)
Choose the correct answer: Choose the correct answer based on the matching expression.The correct answer is (B)−3p(2p−7).
