Use the grouping symbols to interpret the following equation: x/8=3(x+4)/2

Question

Which expression in the equation represents a product? (1 point)

Answer 1

To interpret the equation \( \frac{x}{8} = \frac{3(x+4)}{2} \) using grouping symbols and identify which expression represents a product, we can rewrite the equation clearly:

The right side of the equation is \( \frac{3(x + 4)}{2} \).

Here, the expression \( 3(x + 4) \) consists of the number 3 multiplied by the quantity \( (x + 4) \).

Thus, the expression that represents a product is \( 3(x + 4) \) since it involves multiplication.

So, the answer is \( 3(x + 4) \).
