Responses
A 3/4
B 12x + 6
C 12x + 9
D -3/4
pick the correct answer you have to pick one
The correct answer is B) 12x + 6.
To use the distributive property to expand the expression 3(4x + 3), you need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3.
3(4x) = 12x
3(3) = 9
Therefore, the expanded form of the expression is 12x + 9 which corresponds to option C).
To expand the linear expression 3(4x + 3) using the distributive property, you distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses.
3(4x + 3) becomes:
3 * 4x + 3 * 3
Which simplifies to:
12x + 9
Therefore, the correct answer is C, 12x + 9.
The correct answer is B) 12x + 6.
To expand the expression using the distributive property, you multiply each term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses.
So, 3(4x + 3) becomes 3 * 4x + 3 * 3.
This simplifies to 12x + 9.
Therefore, the expanded form of 3(4x + 3) is 12x + 6.
