Select all the expressions which are equivalent to three times the sum of six and five. A. 3 × 6 + 5 B. 3(6 + 5) C. 3 × 5 + 6 D. (6 + 5) + (6 + 5) + (6 + 5) E. 3 + (5 × 6)

mxddi3:

ok so, you can eliminate option E because it's three times the SUM of 6 and 5 which means they are going to be added, not multiplied

nini:

ok

nini:

a c b

nini:

@mxddi3

Imagine:

Incorrect, It should be A,B,E

Imagine:

Due to PEMDAS.

mxddi3:

ok i agree with option B now the thing with a and c is that there are no parentheses so following order of operations, the answer would not be the same.

Imagine:

Multiplication comes first.

nini:

i got a b d

Imagine:

It is not asking for the same answer, it just asks what multiplys what.

nini:

so it abd

Imagine:

Incorrect. It is A,B,E

mxddi3:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Imagine Incorrect. It is A,B,E \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no it's not

Imagine:

Yes it is.

mxddi3:

6 and 5 are not being multiplied, theyre being ADDED

nini:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @mxddi3 6 and 5 are not being multiplied, theyre being ADDED \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ???????????????????// SO CONFUSED

mxddi3:

but mk u do u boo. u clearly know so ima let you be.

Imagine:

No, it would be the same thing as 3(5x6)

darkknight:

A and E are not correct answer choices, can you explain why they are imagine?

Imagine:

Oh, Im so dumb @mxddi3 I am so sorry I wasn't thinking

Imagine:

The correct answer is B.

Imagine:

Smh

mxddi3:

no, it's cool. ty for helping tho.

darkknight:

There is another correct answer

Imagine:

D.

Imagine:

Due to it being 3(5+6)

Imagine:

So, the correct answers should be "B", "D".

darkknight:

That is kind of a direct answer. Next time imagine when dealing with problems like this ask the user to rewrite the expressions so that they can see what is being done. For example what does three times the sum of six and five mean? it means 3 times whatever 5 + 6 is, which is 11, 3 times 11 = 33. Now which expressions equal 33?
