TIMED The model shows the addition expression 18 + 12
One expression that is equivalent to this sum is

3 + 6 + 4
3(6 + 4)
3 + 6(4)
3(6) + 4

3(6 + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a model that is showing a certain expression, while knowing that the expression it's showing is "18 + 12"

To solve, all we have to do is simplify the answers. Do as following :

A. 3 + 6 + 4

This is already incorrect, the answer is split into three numbers and we are only looking for two, even if you try combining the numbers to make 2 terms, you will not get 18 + 12.

B. 3(6 + 4)

This is correct, the answer is a distribution problem that when solving :

(3(6) + 3(4))

18 + 12

Gives you what the question is asking for.

C. 3 + 6(4)

This is incorrect, when you distribute 6 and 4, you get 24. Leaving you with the expression 3 + 24.

D. This is incorrect, when you distribute 3 and 6, you get 18. Leaving you with the expression 18 + 4.

im pretty sure its
