Which expression is equal to 3(5+6) ?
A: 15 + 18
B: 3 + 11
C: 5 + 18
D: 15 + 6

Answer 1

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property of multiplication:

3(5 + 6) = 15 + 18

Answer 2

A because you must distribute in the parentheses. Anything right outside the parentheses has to be multiplied with what’s inside the parentheses.


Example: 3(5+6)

3 x 5 = 15

3 x 6 = 18


15 + 18
