Answer: 3 ( x + 8 )


Step-by-step explanation:

distributive property so 3 (x+8) = the same as x + 8 + x + 8 + x + 8

Answer:

3(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is used to signify repeated addition. Thus we can write the expression ...

... 3·x + 3·8

The distributive propertly lets us factor out the common factor of 3 and treat the other factors as a group:

... 3(x + 8)
