Determine which of the following statements is/are true: #1: 3⋅20=4(6+9) #2: 4×12=6×(8×2)12+6⋅64−−√=2⋅4⋅8 #3: 4⋅18−4⋅6=42+4⋅8 (1 point) Responses 2 and 3 2 and 3 1 and 2 1 and 2 1 1 1 and 3 1 and 3

1 answer

Let's evaluate each statement one by one.

Statement #1:

\[ 3 \cdot 20 = 4(6 + 9) \]

Calculating the left side: \[ 3 \cdot 20 = 60 \]

Calculating the right side: \[ 6 + 9 = 15 \] \[ 4 \cdot 15 = 60 \]

So, both sides are equal: \[ 60 = 60 \]

Statement #1 is true.

Statement #2:

\[ 4 \cdot 12 = 6 \cdot (8 \cdot 2) \] \[ 12 + 6 \cdot \sqrt{64} = 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 8 \]

Calculating the first part of the statement: Left side: \[ 4 \cdot 12 = 48 \]

Right side: \[ 8 \cdot 2 = 16 \] \[ 6 \cdot 16 = 96 \]

Now comparing: \[ 48 \neq 96 \]

So the first part is false.

Calculating the second part: Left side: \[ 12 + 6 \cdot \sqrt{64} = 12 + 6 \cdot 8 = 12 + 48 = 60 \]

Right side: \[ 2 \cdot 4 \cdot 8 = 64 \]

Comparing: \[ 60 \neq 64 \]

So the second part is also false.

Statement #2 is false.

Statement #3:

\[ 4 \cdot 18 - 4 \cdot 6 = 42 + 4 \cdot 8 \]

Calculating the left side: \[ 4 \cdot 18 = 72 \] \[ 4 \cdot 6 = 24 \] \[ 72 - 24 = 48 \]

Calculating the right side: \[ 4 \cdot 8 = 32 \] \[ 42 + 32 = 74 \]

Comparing both sides: \[ 48 \neq 74 \]

Statement #3 is false.

Conclusion:

The only true statement is Statement #1. Therefore, the correct responses would be 1 only.
