Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression: 3x+9
Take 3 outside from the expression, we get,
= 3(x+3), which is called the equivalent expression
Answer:
No
Step-by-step
We have to multiply the 4 by both the a and the 3 since there a parenthesis around them. This would of course be distributive property. Since you don't know what a is, it would just be 4a and since we can multiply 4 and 3 that would be 12. So, 4(a - 3) is equivalent to 4a - 12.
