Question

We can distribute the 3 to rewrite the right side of the equation without parentheses. What is (3·2x)+(3·3)?
1/4 (24x+36) = 3(2x+3)
6x+9 = 3(2x+3)
6x+9 = ? + ?

Answer 1

To rewrite the right side of the equation \( 3(2x + 3) \) without parentheses, we can distribute the 3:

\[
3(2x + 3) = 3 \cdot 2x + 3 \cdot 3 = 6x + 9
\]

Now, substituting this back into the equation:

\[
6x + 9 = 3(2x + 3)
\]

So, we have:

\[
6x + 9 = 6x + 9
\]

Now, rewriting \( 6x + 9 \) as \( ? + ? \), we can break it down into the two parts we originally calculated:

\[
6x + 9 = 6x + 9
\]

Thus, we can say:

\[
6x + 9 = (6x) + (9)
\]

Therefore, the answer is:

\[
6x + 9 = 6x + 9
\]
