Q. Select the expressions that are equivalent to 9(t+4)9(t + 4).\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 9(4+t)9(4 + t)\newline(B) 13t13t\newline(C) (t+4)9(t + 4)9\newline(D) (4+t)9(4 + t)9
  1. Analyze Expression: Step 11: Analyze the given expression 9(t+4)9(t + 4). This expression means 99 multiplied by the sum of tt and 44. Rewriting it, we get 9t+369t + 36.
  2. Compare with (A): Step 22: Compare with choice (A) 9(4+t)9(4 + t). Reorder the terms inside the parentheses, it becomes 9(t+4)9(t + 4), which is the same as the original expression. So, (A) is equivalent.
  3. Compare with (B): Step 33: Compare with choice (B) 13t13t. This expression represents 1313 times tt, which is different from 9t+369t + 36. So, (B) is not equivalent.
  4. Compare with (C): Step 44: Compare with choice (C) (t+4)9(t + 4)9.\newlineBy the commutative property of multiplication, (t+4)9(t + 4)9 is the same as 9(t+4)9(t + 4).\newlineSo, (C) is equivalent.
  5. Compare with (D): Step 55: Compare with choice (D) (4+t)9(4 + t)9.\newlineReordering the terms inside the parentheses, it becomes (t+4)9(t + 4)9, which is equivalent to 9(t+4)9(t + 4).\newlineSo, (D) is equivalent.
