Q. Which expressions are equivalent to 2(−6c+3)+4c ?Choose all answers that apply:A)−8c+6B)3(−4c+2)+4cC) None of the above
Distribute and Simplify: First, we need to distribute the 2 into the parentheses.2×(−6c)+2×3+4cThis simplifies to:−12c+6+4c
Combine Like Terms: Next, we combine like terms, which are the terms with c.−12c+4c+6 This simplifies to: −8c+6
Check Choice A: Now, let's check each answer choice to see if it is equivalent to our simplified expression −8c+6.For choice A:−8c+6This is exactly the same as our simplified expression.
Distribute and Simplify for Choice B: For choice B:We need to distribute the 3 into the parentheses.3×(−4c)+3×2+4cThis simplifies to:−12c+6+4c
Combine Like Terms for Choice B: Next, we combine like terms for choice B. −12c+4c+6This simplifies to:−8c+6
Verify Correct Answers: Since both choice A and choice B simplify to −8c+6, which is equivalent to our original expression 2(−6c+3)+4c, both choices are correct.
