Q. Which expression is equivalent to 8(3j)?Choices:(A) j+11(B) j+24(C) 24j(D) 3j+8
Distribute 8: Distribute the 8 to the term inside the parentheses.We have the expression 8(3j), which means 8 times 3j.So, we multiply 8 by 3j.8×3j=24j
Compare with choices: Compare the result with the given choices.We found that 8(3j)=24j.Now we look at the choices to find the equivalent expression.(A) j+11 is not correct because it does not represent the multiplication of 8 and 3j.(B) j+24 is not correct for the same reason as (A).(C) 24j is the correct choice because it is the result of the multiplication we performed.(D) 3j+8 is not correct because it suggests addition rather than multiplication.
