To find the difference between the expressions \( (3x + 4x) + 2x \) and \( 3x + (4x + 2x) \), we can simplify both expressions.

  1. For the first expression \( (3x + 4x) + 2x \):

    • Simplify \( 3x + 4x \) to get \( 7x \).
    • Then, \( 7x + 2x = 9x \).
  2. For the second expression \( 3x + (4x + 2x) \):

    • Simplify \( 4x + 2x \) to get \( 6x \).
    • Then, \( 3x + 6x = 9x \).

Now, both expressions simplify to \( 9x \). Therefore, there is no difference between the two expressions.

The correct response is 0.

The Associative Property states that the way in which numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication does not change their sum or product.

Given the options:

  1. \(3x \cdot (4x \cdot 5) = 3x(4x + 5)\) - This equation does not demonstrate the Associative Property; it mixes multiplication and addition incorrectly.

  2. \(3x \cdot (4x \cdot 5) = (3x \cdot 4x) \cdot 5\) - This equation correctly shows the Associative Property of multiplication, where the grouping of factors can be changed without affecting the product.

  3. \((3x + 4x) \cdot 5 = 3x + (4x \cdot 5)\) - This equation does not demonstrate the Associative Property; it does not correctly apply the property of addition or multiplication.

  4. \(3x \cdot (4x + 5x) = (3x + 4x) \cdot 5\) - This mixes multiplication and addition incorrectly as well, so it does not demonstrate the Associative Property.

The correct response that demonstrates the Associative Property is:

\(3x \cdot (4x \cdot 5) = (3x \cdot 4x) \cdot 5\).

To simplify the expression \((3r \cdot 5) \cdot (-3 \cdot 8)\) and find an equivalent expression, we first calculate each part separately:

  1. Calculate \(3r \cdot 5\):

    • This gives \(15r\).
  2. Calculate \(-3 \cdot 8\):

    • This gives \(-24\).

Now we can combine these results:

\[ (3r \cdot 5) \cdot (-3 \cdot 8) = 15r \cdot (-24) \]

This can be written as:

\[ 15r \cdot -24 = -360r \]

Let's check each answer choice to see if any match \(-360r\):

  1. โˆ’45rโ‹…5:

    • This simplifies to \(-225r\) (not equivalent).
  2. 24rโ‹…(5โ‹…โˆ’3):

    • This simplifies to \(24r \cdot (-15) = -360r\) (equivalent).
  3. 15rโ‹…(5โ‹…8):

    • This simplifies to \(15r \cdot 40 = 600r\) (not equivalent).
  4. (5โ‹…โˆ’3)โ‹…โˆ’9r:

    • This simplifies to \(-15 \cdot -9r = 135r\) (not equivalent).

The expression that is equivalent to \((3r \cdot 5) \cdot (-3 \cdot 8)\) is:

24rโ‹…(5โ‹…โˆ’3).

To rewrite the expression \((3x - 5)(2x + 2)\) using the Distributive Property, we will distribute each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis.

  1. Distributing \(3x\):

    • \(3x \cdot 2x = 6x^2\)
    • \(3x \cdot 2 = 6x\)
  2. Distributing \(-5\):

    • \(-5 \cdot 2x = -10x\)
    • \(-5 \cdot 2 = -10\)

Now, combine all these results:

\[ (3x - 5)(2x + 2) = 6x^2 + 6x - 10x - 10 \]

Combine like terms (\(6x - 10x\)):

\[ 6x^2 - 4x - 10 \]

Thus, the expression rewritten is:

6xยฒ - 4x - 10.

This corresponds to the third response option:

6xยฒ โˆ’ 4x โˆ’ 10.

To rewrite the expression \(4x^2 - 36\) using the Distributive Property, we can first recognize that it can be factored as a difference of squares.

The expression \(4x^2 - 36\) can be rewritten as:

\[ 4(x^2 - 9) \]

Next, \(x^2 - 9\) is also a difference of squares and can be factored as:

\[ x^2 - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3) \]

Putting it all together, we can express \(4x^2 - 36\) as:

\[ 4(x^2 - 9) = 4((x + 3)(x - 3)) = (2(x + 3))(2(x - 3)) = (2x + 6)(2x - 6) \]

Now, let's compare this with the given options:

  1. \((x + 18)(x - 18)\) - This is incorrect; it doesn't match our expression.
  2. \(4x(x - 9)\) - This is also incorrect; it doesn't match our expression.
  3. \((2x + 9)(x - 9)\) - This does not match our expression.
  4. \((2x + 6)(2x - 6)\) - This matches our expression.

Thus, the correct answer is:

\((2x + 6)(2x - 6)\).

To find an expression equivalent to \(3x^2 + 2x - 5x - 2x^2 + 2\), we can first combine like terms:

  1. Combine the \(x^2\) terms: \[ 3x^2 - 2x^2 = x^2 \]

  2. Combine the \(x\) terms: \[ 2x - 5x = -3x \]

  3. The constant term is: \[ +2 \]

Now we can rewrite the entire expression with the simplified terms: \[ x^2 - 3x + 2 \]

Next, we will factor the quadratic expression \(x^2 - 3x + 2\):

We need two numbers that multiply to \(2\) (the constant term) and add to \(-3\) (the coefficient of \(x\)). The numbers \(-1\) and \(-2\) satisfy these conditions:

\[ (x - 1)(x - 2) \]

Now let's compare this factored form with the given options:

  1. \((x - 2)(x - 1)\) - This is equivalent to \(x^2 - 3x + 2\).
  2. \((3x + 2)(x + 1)\) - This does not match our expression.
  3. \((x + 1)(x + 2)\) - This does not match our expression.
  4. \((x + 2)(x - 2)\) - This does not match our expression.

Thus, the correct answer is:

\((x - 2)(x - 1)\).
