Hi there! We know that 32+16=48 so all we have to do is find a expression that equals 48. 8(4+2)=48. 8(24+8)=256. 7(4+2)=42. 7(24+8)=224. Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to 32+16 is 8(4+2).
Pick the expression that matches this description: a polynomial of the 5th degree with a leading coefficient of 7 and a constant term of 6 (choice a) 7x^5+2x^2+6 (choice b) 7x^6−6x^4+5 (choice c) 6x^7−x^5+5 (choice d) 6x^5+x^4+7
