Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll analyze the expressions 3+3+3+33+3+3+3 and 3×43 \times 4 to determine if they are equivalent.

First, evaluate the expression 3+3+3+33+3+3+3:

  • Add the numbers: 3+3=63 + 3 = 6
  • Add again: 6+3=96 + 3 = 9
  • Add the last 33: 9+3=129 + 3 = 12

The result of 3+3+3+33+3+3+3 is 1212.

Next, evaluate the expression 3×43 \times 4:

  • Perform the multiplication: 3×4=123 \times 4 = 12

The result of 3×43 \times 4 is also 1212.

Since both expressions result in the same number, we conclude that

The expressions are the same.

Therefore, the correct answer is Yes.

Answer

Yes
