The expression that is equivalent to 5 (g + 2) - 3 is 5g + 7.
Answered by GPT 3.5
To simplify the expression 5 (g + 2) - 3, we can distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses:

5 * g + 5 * 2 - 3

This simplifies to:

5g + 10 - 3

Next, we can combine like terms by subtracting 3 from 10:

5g + 7

Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to 5 (g + 2) - 3 is 5g + 7.

Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's go through the simplification process step by step to find the correct equivalent expression.

Starting with 5(g + 2) - 3, we distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses:

5 * g + 5 * 2 - 3

This simplifies to:

5g + 10 - 3

Next, we combine like terms by subtracting 3 from 10:

5g + 7

Therefore, the correct expression that is equivalent to 5(g + 2) - 3 is indeed 5g + 7.

To apply the distributive property to the expression 8 (3 + j), we multiply 8 to both terms inside the parentheses:

8 * 3 + 8 * j

This simplifies to:

24 + 8j

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 8 (3 + j) is 24 + 8j.

To apply the commutative property to the expression 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12, we group the like terms together:

8 - 2 - 4 + 12 + 9f + 6f - 8f

Combining the like terms:

(8 - 2 - 4 + 12) + (9f + 6f - 8f)

This simplifies to:

14 + 7f

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12 using the commutative property is 14 + 7f.
