Q. Which expressions are equivalent to z+(z+6)?Choose all answers that apply:A)(z+z)+(z+6)B) (z+6)+6C)2(z+3)
Simplify Expression: First, let's simplify the original expression z+(z+6) by combining like terms.z+(z+6)=z+z+6=2z+6
Evaluate Answer Choices: Now let's evaluate each answer choice to see if it is equivalent to 2z+6.Choice A: (z+z)+(z+6)We can simplify this by combining like terms.(z+z)+(z+6)=2z+(z+6)=2z+z+6=3z+6This is not equivalent to 2z+6 because 3z+6 has a different coefficient for z.
Choice A Evaluation: Choice B: z+6)+6(We can simplify this by combining like terms.\$(z + 6) + 6 = z + 12\)\(\newline\)This is not equivalent to \(2z + 6\) because \(z + 12\) does not have the term \(2z\).
Choice B Evaluation: Choice C: \(2(z+3)\)\(\newline\)We can simplify this by distributing the \(2\).\(\newline\)\(2(z + 3) = 2z + 2\times3 = 2z + 6\)\(\newline\)This is equivalent to \(2z + 6\).
