Which expression is equivalent to 4(9k+3)? A) 4(-7k+16k+3) B) 3(9k+4) C) 4(3k+9) D) 9(3k+4)

Option A "4(-7k+16k+3)" would be the appropriate choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

On solving the equation, we get

⇒

On applying BODMAS rule, we get

⇒

Therefore,

⇒

All other given options are not seems to be the equivalent of the given expression "4(9k+3)". So the above is the right approach.

d) 48

step-by-step explanation:

16,32,48,64,80,96,112,128,144,160,176,192,208,224,240,256,272,288,304,320,336

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
