Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will simplify each given expression and compare the results to the initial expression 45+5a+3ab+27b 45 + 5a + 3ab + 27b .

Let's analyze each option:

  • Option a: (5+3b)(a+9)(5+3b)(a+9)
    Distribute: =5a+45+3ba+27b = 5a + 45 + 3ba + 27b
    Which rearranges to: 45+5a+3ab+27b 45 + 5a + 3ab + 27b
    This matches the original expression.
  • Option b: 45+23a+413ab+(3a+27)b45+\frac{2}{3}a+4\frac{1}{3}ab+(3a+27)b
    Simplify: =45+23a+133ab+3ab+27b = 45 + \frac{2}{3}a + \frac{13}{3}ab + 3ab + 27b
    The terms do not simplify to match the original expression 45+5a+3ab+27b 45 + 5a + 3ab + 27b .
  • Option c: 2ab+5(9+a)+ab+9a3ba12ab+5(9+a)+ab+\frac{9}{a}\cdot\frac{3ba}{1}
    Simplify: Complete multiplication and distribution: =2ab+45+5a+ab+27b = 2ab + 45 + 5a + ab + 27b
    Combine like terms: =45+5a+3ab+27b = 45 + 5a + 3ab + 27b
    This matches the original expression.
  • Option d: 45+8ab+27b45+8ab+27b
    This expression: =45+8ab+27b = 45 + 8ab + 27b
    Depends on the situation with bb, 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 b .

The correct answer is: a, c, d (d. depends on b).

Answer

a. c. d. (d. depends on b)
