Which of the following expressions is not equivalent to:
4(3x2 + 6x)

A. 12x^2 + 24x
B. 2x (6x+12)
C. 6x (2x^2 + 4x)
D. 3x (4x +8)

Respuesta :

4(3x2 + 6x) = 12x^2+24x


The correct answer is C. 6x (2x^2 + 4x), for it's not equal to 12x^2+24x.

Answer: [tex]6x (2x^2 + 4x)[/tex] is not equivalent the given expression.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression,

[tex]4(3x^2+6x) = 4\times 3x^2 + 4\times 6x= 12x^2+24x[/tex]

Expression (A),

[tex]12x^2 + 24x[/tex]

Expression (B),

[tex]2x(6x+12)=2x\times 6x + 2x\times 12=12x^2+24x[/tex]

Expression (C),

[tex]6x (2x^2 + 4x)=12x^3+24x[/tex]

Expression (D),

[tex]3x (4x +8) = 3x\times 4x + 3x\times 8 = 12x^2+24x[/tex]

Thus, by the above explanation it is clear that only the expression C is not equivalent to the given expression.
