Which expression is equivalent to 6n-27? 3(2n-9), 6(n-4), 3(n-9)
or 9(n-3)
To find which expression is equivalent to 6n-27, we need to simplify each
expression and look for one that gives us the same answer as 6n-27.
Let's start with each expression:
- 3(2n-9) = 6n - 27 (distributing the 3 in the parentheses gives us 6n-27, which
is the same as 6n-27)
- 6(n-4) = 6n - 24 (distributing the 6 in the parentheses gives us 6n-24, which
is not the same as 6n-27)
- 3(n-9) = 3n - 27 (distributing the 3 in the parentheses gives us 3n-27, which
is not the same as 6n-27)
- 9(n-3) = 9n - 27 (distributing the 9 in the parentheses gives us 9n-27, which
is not the same as 6n-27)
Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to 6n-27 is 3(2n-9), because it
simplifies to the same expression.
