Write an expression that is equivalent to (5z+ 16). (4 points) a. 3/4 z + 12 b. 15/4 z + 16 c. 3/4 z + 16 d. 15/4 z + 12

The correct expression given is:



option D is the correct one

Explanation:
We will start by simplifying the given expression as follows:


We will use the distributive property to get rid of the brackets as follows:


We will now compute the multiplication, this will give us:


This is the simplest form of our expression.
Comparing this with the choices, we will find that the correct choice is D

Hope this helps :)
