Let's simplify the given expressions, open the parentheses using the extended distribution law:

(x+y)(m+r)=xm+xr+ym+yr (\textcolor{red}{x}+\textcolor{blue}{y})(m+r)=\textcolor{red}{x}m+\textcolor{red}{x}r+\textcolor{blue}{y}m+\textcolor{blue}{y}r

In the formula template for the above distribution law, we take by default that the operation between the terms inside of the parentheses is addition. Note that the sign preceding the term is an inseparable part of it. Furthermore we will apply the laws of sign multiplication to our expression. We will then open the parentheses using the above formula, where there is an addition operation between all terms.

Proceed to simplify each of the expressions in the given problem, whilst making sure to open the parentheses using the mentioned distribution law, the commutative law of addition and multiplication and combining like terms (if there are like terms in the expression obtained after opening the parentheses):

  1. (a+b)(c+d)ac+ad+bc+bd (a+b)(c+d) \\ \boxed{ac+ad+bc+bd}\\

  2. (a+c)(b+d)ab+ad+cb+cd (a+c)(b+d) \\ \boxed{ab+ad+cb+cd}

  3. (a+d)(c+b)ac+ab+dc+db (a+d)(c+b) \\ \boxed{ac+ab+dc+db}

    In all expressions where we performed a multiplication operation between the expressions in the above parentheses, the result of the multiplication (obtained after applying the mentioned distribution law) yielded an expression where the terms cannot be combined. This is due to the fact that all terms in the resulting expression are different from each other ( All variables in like terms need to be identical and have the same exponent)

  4. After applying the commutative law of addition and multiplication we observe that:

    The simplified expression in 1 matches the expression in option A,

    The simplified expression in 2 matches the expression in option C,

    The simplified expression in 3 matches the expression in option B,

Therefore the correct answer (among the suggested options) is answer C.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll use the distributive property to expand each expression and find its equivalent form.

**Step 1: Expand each given expression.**

  • For (mn)(a4) (m-n)(a-4) :

(mn)(a4)=mam4na+n4=ma4mna+4n (m-n)(a-4) = m \cdot a - m \cdot 4 - n \cdot a + n \cdot 4 = ma - 4m - na + 4n

  • For (4n)(m+a) (4-n)(m+a) :

(4n)(m+a)=4m+4anmna=4m+4anmna (4-n)(m+a) = 4 \cdot m + 4 \cdot a - n \cdot m - n \cdot a = 4m + 4a - nm - na

  • For (nm)(4a) (n-m)(4-a) :

(nm)(4a)=n4nam4+ma=4nna4m+ma=ma+4m+na4n (n-m)(4-a) = n \cdot 4 - n \cdot a - m \cdot 4 + m \cdot a = 4n - na - 4m + ma = -ma + 4m + na - 4n

**Step 2: Match expanded expressions with the given options.**

  • ma4mna+4n ma - 4m - na + 4n matches option b.

  • 4m+4anmna 4m + 4a - nm - na matches option a.

  • ma+4m+na4n -ma + 4m + na - 4n matches option c.

The expanded expressions match the options as follows:

  • Expression (mn)(a4) (m-n)(a-4) matches option b.

  • Expression (4n)(m+a) (4-n)(m+a) matches option a.

  • Expression (nm)(4a) (n-m)(4-a) matches option c.

Thus, the correct matches are 1-b, 2-a, 3-c.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Simplify the given expressions, open parentheses using the extended distributive property:

(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd (\textcolor{red}{a}+\textcolor{blue}{b})(c+d)=\textcolor{red}{a}c+\textcolor{red}{a}d+\textcolor{blue}{b}c+\textcolor{blue}{b}d Keep in mind that in the formula form for the distributive property mentioned above, we assume by default that the operation between the terms inside the parentheses is an addition, therefore, of course, we will not forget that the sign of the term's coefficient is an inseparable part of it. Furthermore, we will apply the rules of sign multiplication and thus we can present any expression within parentheses, which is opened with the help of the previous formula, first, as an expression in which an addition operation takes place among all the terms (if necessary),

Then we will simplify each and every one of the expressions of the given problem, respecting the above, first opening the parentheses through the previously mentioned distributive property. Then we will use the substitution property in addition and multiplication before introducing like terms (if there are like terms in the expression obtained after opening the parentheses):

  1. (2xy)(x+3)(2x+(y))(x+3)2xx+2x3+(y)x+(y)32x2+6xyx3y (2x-y)(x+3) \\ \downarrow\\ \big(2x+(-y)\big)(x+3) \\ 2x\cdot x+2x\cdot 3+(-y)\cdot x+(-y)\cdot3\\ \boxed{2x^2+6x-yx-3y}\\

  2. (y2x)(3x)(y+(2x))(3+(x))y3+y(x)+(2x)3+(2x)(x)3yxy6x+2x2 (y-2x)(3-x) \\ \downarrow\\ \big(y+(-2x)\big)\big(3+(-x)\big) \\ y\cdot 3+y\cdot (-x)+(-2x)\cdot 3+(-2x)\cdot(-x)\\ \boxed{3y-xy-6x+2x^2}\\

  3. (2x+y)(x3)(2x+y)(x+(3))2xx+2x(3)+yx+y(3)2x26x+yx3y (2x+y)(x-3) \\ \downarrow\\ (2x+y)(x+(-3)) \\ 2x\cdot x+2x\cdot (-3)+y\cdot x+y\cdot(-3)\\ \boxed{2x^2-6x+yx-3y}\\ As you can notice, in all the expressions where we applied multiplication between the expressions in the previous parentheses, the result of the multiplication (obtained after applying the previously mentioned distributive property) produced an expression in which terms cannot be added, and this is because all the terms in the resulting expression are different from each other (remember that all like variables must be identical and in the same power),

    Now, let's use the substitution property in addition and multiplication to distinguish that:

    The simplified expression in 1 corresponds to the expression in option C,

    The simplified expression in 2 corresponds to the expression in option B,

    The simplified expression in 3 corresponds to the expression in option A,

Therefore, the correct answer (among the options offered) is option B.

Answer

1-b, 2-c, 3-a

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's simplify the given expressions, open the parentheses using the extended distribution law:

(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd (\textcolor{red}{a}+\textcolor{blue}{b})(c+d)=\textcolor{red}{a}c+\textcolor{red}{a}d+\textcolor{blue}{b}c+\textcolor{blue}{b}d

In the formula template for the above distribution law, we take by default that the operation between the terms inside of the parentheses is addition. Note that the sign preceding the term is an inseparable part of it. Furthermore we will apply the laws of sign multiplication to our expression. We will then open the parentheses using the above formula, where there is an addition operation between all terms.

Proceed to simplify each of the expressions in the given problem, whilst making sure to open the parentheses using the mentioned distribution law, the commutative law of addition and multiplication and combining like terms (if there are like terms in the expression obtained after opening the parentheses):

  1. (x+6)(x+8)xx+x8+6x+68x2+8x+6x+48x2+14x+48 (x+6)(x+8) \\ x\cdot x+x\cdot 8+6\cdot x+6\cdot8\\ x^2+8x+6x+48\\ \boxed{x^2+14x+48}\\

  2. (6+x)(8x)(6+x)(8+(x))68+6(x)+x8+x(x)486x+8xx248+2xx2 (6+x)(8-x) \\ \downarrow\\ (6+x)\big(8+(-x)\big) \\ 6\cdot 8+6\cdot (-x)+x\cdot 8+x\cdot(-x)\\ 48-6x+8x-x^2\\ \boxed{48+2x-x^2}\\

  3. (x+x)(6+8)2x1428x (x+x)(6+8) \\ 2x\cdot14\\ \boxed{28x}

    In the last expression we simplified above, we first combined like terms in each of the expressions within parentheses, therefore in this case there was no need to use the extended distribution law mentioned at the beginning of the solution to simplify the expression.

    After applying the commutative law of addition and multiplication we observe that:

    The simplified expression in 1 matches the expression in option C,

    The simplified expression in 2 matches the expression in option A,

    The simplified expression in 3 matches the expression in option B,

Therefore, the correct answer (among the suggested options) is answer B.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Expand each factored expression using the distributive property.
  • Step 2: Match the expanded expressions with their corresponding forms.

Step 1: Expand the factored expressions:

- (2x+9)(y+4) (2x+9)(y+4) :
Apply the distributive property:
(2x)y+(2x)4+9y+36=2xy+8x+9y+36 (2x)y + (2x)4 + 9y + 36 = 2xy + 8x + 9y + 36 .

- (2y+9)(x+4) (2y+9)(x+4) :
Apply the distributive property:
(2y)x+(2y)4+9x+36=2xy+8y+9x+36 (2y)x + (2y)4 + 9x + 36 = 2xy + 8y + 9x + 36 .

- (2x9)(y4) (2x-9)(y-4) :
Apply the distributive property:
(2x)y(2x)49y+36=2xy8x9y+36 (2x)y - (2x)4 - 9y + 36 = 2xy - 8x - 9y + 36 .

- (2x+9)(y4) (2x+9)(y-4) :
Apply the distributive property:
(2x)y(2x)4+9y36=2xy8x+9y36 (2x)y - (2x)4 + 9y - 36 = 2xy - 8x + 9y - 36 .

Step 2: Match the expanded forms to their corresponding choices:

  • 4-b: (2x+9)(y4)=2xy8x+9y36 (2x+9)(y-4) = 2xy - 8x + 9y - 36
  • 3-c: (2x9)(y4)=2xy8x9y+36 (2x-9)(y-4) = 2xy - 8x - 9y + 36
  • 2-d: (2y+9)(x+4)=2xy+8y+9x+36 (2y+9)(x+4) = 2xy + 8y + 9x + 36
  • 1-a: (2x+9)(y+4)=2xy+8x+9y+36 (2x+9)(y+4) = 2xy + 8x + 9y + 36

Therefore, the correct matching of expressions is 4-b, 3-c, 2-d, 1-a.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Expand each of the given expressions using the distributive property.
  • Step 2: Simplify the resulting expressions.
  • Step 3: Match the simplified expressions with options a, b, and c.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Start with the first expression 3(y+b)+4x 3(y+b) + 4x .
Applying the distributive property: 3y+3b+4x=3y+3b+4x 3 \cdot y + 3 \cdot b + 4x = 3y + 3b + 4x . This matches with option a: 3y+3b+4x 3y+3b+4x .

Step 2: Consider the second expression (3+4x)(y+b) (3+4x)(y+b) .
Expanding using the distributive property, we get: 3(y+b)+4x(y+b)=3y+3b+4xy+4xb 3(y+b) + 4x(y+b) = 3y + 3b + 4xy + 4xb . This matches with option c: 3y+3b+4xy+4xb 3y+3b+4xy+4xb .

Step 3: Finally, expand the third expression (4y+3)(x+b) (4y+3)(x+b) .
Apply the distributive property: 4y(x+b)+3(x+b)=4yx+4yb+3x+3b 4y(x+b) + 3(x+b) = 4yx + 4yb + 3x + 3b . This matches with option b: 4yx+4yb+3x+3b 4yx+4yb+3x+3b .

Therefore, the matches are:
First expression matches option a
Second expression matches option c
Third expression matches option b

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 1-a, 2-c, 3-b.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's simplify the given expressions, open the parentheses using the extended distribution law:

(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd (\textcolor{red}{a}+\textcolor{blue}{b})(c+d)=\textcolor{red}{a}c+\textcolor{red}{a}d+\textcolor{blue}{b}c+\textcolor{blue}{b}d

In the formula template for the above distribution law, we take by default that the operation between the terms inside of the parentheses is addition. Note that the sign preceding the term is an inseparable part of it. Furthermore we will apply the laws of sign multiplication to our expression. We will then open the parentheses using the above formula, where there is an addition operation between all terms.

Proceed to simplify each of the expressions in the given problem, whilst making sure to open the parentheses using the mentioned distribution law, the commutative law of addition and multiplication and combining like terms (if there are like terms in the expression obtained after opening the parentheses):

  1. (12x5)(y+2)(12x+(5))(y+2)12xy+12x2+(5)y+(5)212xy+24x5y10 (12x-5)(y+2) \\ \downarrow\\ \big(12x+(-5)\big)(y+2)\\ 12x\cdot y+12x\cdot 2+(-5)\cdot y+(-5)\cdot 2\\ \boxed{12xy+24x-5y-10}\\

  2. (x12)(5y+2)(x+(12))(5y+2)x5y+x2+(12)5y+(12)25xy+2x60y24 (x-12)(5y+2) \\ \downarrow\\ \big(x+(-12)\big)(5y+2)\\ x\cdot 5y+x\cdot 2+(-12)\cdot 5y+(-12)\cdot 2\\ \boxed{5xy+2x-60y-24}\\

  3. (12x+5)(y2)(12x+5)(y+(2))12xy+12x(2)+5y+5(2) 12xy24x+5y10 (12x+5)(y-2) \\ \downarrow\\ (12x+5)\big(y+(-2)\big)\\ 12x\cdot y+12x\cdot (-2)+5\cdot y+5\cdot (-2)\\\ \boxed{12xy-24x+5y-10}\\

    Note in all expressions where we performed the multiplication between the expressions in the parentheses above, the result of the multiplication (obtained after applying the aforementioned distribution law) yielded an expression where terms cannot be combined. Due to the fact that all terms in the resulting expression are different from each other (remember that all variables in like terms need to be identical and have the same exponent),

    After applying the commutative law of addition and multiplication we observe that:

    The simplified expression in 1 matches the expression in option B,

    The simplified expression in 2 matches the expression in option C,

    The simplified expression in 3 matches the expression in option A,

Therefore, the correct answer (among the suggested options) is answer B.

Answer

1-c, 2-b, 3-a

    c.x2+12x+xy+8y+32 x^2+12x+xy+8y+32

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll expand each expression and find which polynomial they correspond with:

Start with expression 1: (4+x)(y+8+x) (4+x)(y+8+x) .

  • Using the distributive property, expand as follows:
    =4(y+8+x)+x(y+8+x) = 4(y+8+x) + x(y+8+x)
    =4y+32+4x+xy+8x+x2 = 4y + 32 + 4x + xy + 8x + x^2
    =x2+xy+12x+4y+32 = x^2 + xy + 12x + 4y + 32

This matches the polynomial x2+12x+xy+4y+32 x^2 + 12x + xy + 4y + 32 , which is option b.

Next, consider expression 2: (4+x+y)(8+x) (4+x+y)(8+x) .

  • Once again, expand using distributive property:
    =(4+x+y)8+(4+x+y)x = (4+x+y)8 + (4+x+y)x
    =32+8x+8y+4x+x2+xy = 32 + 8x + 8y + 4x + x^2 + xy
    =x2+12x+xy+8y+32 = x^2 + 12x + xy + 8y + 32

This matches the polynomial x2+12x+xy+8y+32 x^2 + 12x + xy + 8y + 32 , which is option c.

Finally, consider expression 3: (12+x)(y+x) (12+x)(y+x) .

  • Use distributive property to expand:
    =12(y+x)+x(y+x) = 12(y+x) + x(y+x)
    =12y+12x+xy+x2 = 12y + 12x + xy + x^2
    =x2+12x+xy+12y = x^2 + 12x + xy + 12y

This matches the polynomial x2+12x+xy+12y x^2 + 12x + xy + 12y , which is option a.

The correct matches are therefore: 1-c, 2-b, 3-a.

Answer

1-c, 2-b, 3-a

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Expand each given expression using the distributive property.
  • Step 2: Simplify the expressions obtained from expansion.
  • Step 3: Compare the simplified expressions to the given expanded forms (a, b, and c).
  • Step 4: Determine which expanded forms correspond to which original expressions and select the correct answer choice.

Let's begin with Step 1:
Expression 1: (7x)(a13)(-7-x)(a-13)

Expand:
(7)(a)+(7)(13)+(x)(a)+(x)(13)(-7)(a) + (-7)(-13) + (-x)(a) + (-x)(-13) = 7a+91ax+13x-7a + 91 - ax + 13x

Expression 2: (a+13)(7x)(-a+13)(-7-x)

Expand:
(a)(7)+(a)(x)+13(7)+13(x)(-a)(-7) + (-a)(-x) + 13(-7) + 13(-x) = 7a+ax9113x7a + ax - 91 - 13x

Expression 3: (7+x)(a13)(7+x)(a-13)

Expand:
7a91+ax13x7a - 91 + ax - 13x

Now proceed with Step 3: Comparing these expanded expressions to the provided forms:

  • Expression 1: 7a+91ax+13x-7a + 91 - ax + 13x corresponds with Form b: 7a+91ax+13x-7a + 91 - ax + 13x.
  • Expression 2: 7a+ax9113x7a + ax - 91 - 13x matches with Form a: 7a+ax9113x7a + ax - 91 - 13x.
  • Expression 3: 7a91+ax13x7a - 91 + ax - 13x is equivalent to Form a: 7a+ax9113x7a + ax - 91 - 13x after rearranging terms.

After comparing, we obtain the answer selection as 1-b, 2,3-a.

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to expand each given expression and compare it to the list of provided expanded expressions.

Let's expand each of the four expressions:

  • Expression 1: (2a+b)(b+4) (2a+b)(b+4)
  • Applying the distributive property:

    (2a+b)(b)+(2a+b)(4)=2ab+b2+8a+4b (2a+b)(b) + (2a+b)(4) = 2ab + b^2 + 8a + 4b This matches the expanded form 2ab+b2+8a+4b 2ab + b^2 + 8a + 4b , option d.
  • Expression 2: (4+a)(2b+b)=(4+a)(3b) (4+a)(2b+b) = (4+a)(3b)
  • Distributing the terms:

    3b4+3ba=12b+3ab 3b \cdot 4 + 3b \cdot a = 12b + 3ab This matches the expanded form 12b+3ab 12b + 3ab , option b.
  • Expression 3: (2ab)(b4) (2a-b)(b-4)
  • Distributing the terms:

    2ab2a4bb+b4=2ab8ab2+4b 2a \cdot b - 2a \cdot 4 - b \cdot b + b \cdot 4 = 2ab - 8a - b^2 + 4b This matches the expanded form 2ab8ab2+4b 2ab - 8a - b^2 + 4b , option a.
  • Expression 4: (2ab)(b+4) (2a-b)(b+4)
  • Distributing the terms:

    2ab+2a4bbb4=2ab+8ab24b 2a \cdot b + 2a \cdot 4 - b \cdot b - b \cdot 4 = 2ab + 8a - b^2 - 4b This matches the expanded form 2ab+8ab24b 2ab + 8a - b^2 - 4b , option c.

Therefore, the correct matching is as follows:

  • Expression 1: (2a+b)(b+4) (2a+b)(b+4) matches with 2ab+8a+b2+4b 2ab+8a+b^2+4b
  • Expression 2: (4+a)(2b+b) (4+a)(2b+b) matches with 12b+3ab 12b+3ab
  • Expression 3: (2ab)(b4) (2a-b)(b-4) matches with 2ab8ab2+4b 2ab-8a-b^2+4b
  • Expression 4: (2ab)(b+4) (2a-b)(b+4) matches with 2ab+8ab24b 2ab+8a-b^2-4b

Thus, the correct answer is: 1-d, 2-b, 3-a, 4-c.
