Question

Which expression is equivalent to 8 + 4 + 4 • 2 + 3 A 8 + 4/3 + 4 • 6 B 8 + 4/3 + 24 C 4 + 4 • 8 D 8 • 8

Answer 1

Let's simplify the given expression step by step:

The expression is:

\[ 8 + 4 + 4 \cdot 2 + 3 \]

Breaking it down, we compute:

- \( 4 \cdot 2 = 8 \)

Now we substitute back into the expression:

\[ 8 + 4 + 8 + 3 \]

Next, let's add these numbers together:

- First, we can add \( 8 + 4 = 12 \)
- Then \( 12 + 8 = 20 \)
- Finally, \( 20 + 3 = 23 \)

So, the entire expression simplifies to \( 23 \).

Now, let's evaluate the options provided:

Option A: \( 8 + \frac{4}{3} + 4 \cdot 6 \)

Calculating this:

- \( 4 \cdot 6 = 24 \)
- So the expression becomes \( 8 + \frac{4}{3} + 24 \)
- \( 8 + 24 = 32 \)
- Therefore, this option does not equal 23.

Option B: \( 8 + \frac{4}{3} + 24 \)

This is the same as option A:

- We previously calculated this as \( 32 + \frac{4}{3} \), which does not equal 23.

Option C: \( 4 + 4 \cdot 8 \)

Calculating this:

- \( 4 \cdot 8 = 32 \)
- Therefore, \( 4 + 32 = 36 \), which does not equal 23.

Option D: \( 8 \cdot 8 \)

Calculating this:

- \( 8 \cdot 8 = 64 \), which does not equal 23.

None of the provided options seem to give us \( 23 \). It looks like there may have been a misunderstanding in the formatting of the expression to be simplified.

Please double-check the given options or clarify the original expression for further assistance!
