Which expressions represent the same value?
45+5a+3ab+27b
a. (5+3b)(a+9)
b. 45+32a+431ab+(3a+27)b
c. 2ab+5(9+a)+ab+a9⋅13ba
d. 45+8ab+27b
To solve this problem, we will simplify each given expression and compare the results to the initial expression 45+5a+3ab+27b.
Let's analyze each option:
- Option a: (5+3b)(a+9)
Distribute:
=5a+45+3ba+27b
Which rearranges to:
45+5a+3ab+27b
This matches the original expression.
- Option b: 45+32a+431ab+(3a+27)b
Simplify:
=45+32a+313ab+3ab+27b
The terms do not simplify to match the original expression 45+5a+3ab+27b.
- Option c: 2ab+5(9+a)+ab+a9⋅13ba
Simplify:
Complete multiplication and distribution:
=2ab+45+5a+ab+27b
Combine like terms:
=45+5a+3ab+27b
This matches the original expression.
- Option d: 45+8ab+27b
This expression:
=45+8ab+27b
Depends on the situation with b, might match if conditions hold, but generally does not match unless specified.
After careful comparison, option a and c definitely represent the same value as the original expression, while option d depends on specific conditions regarding b.
The correct answer is: a, c, d (d. depends on b).
a. c. d. (d. depends on b)
