Question

Which expression is equivalent to 6(7j+8)?
48j+42
42j+48
7j+48
42j+8

Answer 1

To find an expression equivalent to \( 6(7j + 8) \), we need to distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses.

Starting with the expression:

\[
6(7j + 8)
\]

Distributing the 6:

\[
= 6 \cdot 7j + 6 \cdot 8
\]

Calculating each term:

\[
= 42j + 48
\]

Therefore, the equivalent expression is:

\[
42j + 48
\]

So, the correct answer from the options provided is:

**42j + 48**
