Are the two expressions equivalent when x=20?

8(12x+4)
96x+32

If x = 20, then
8(12 • 20 + 4) = 1,952, and
96 • 20 + 32 = 1.952.

Both expressions are equivalent due to when applying the distributive property to the first equation '8(12x + 4)', you would multiply both 12 and 4 by 8. This would leave you with the equation 96x + 32.

The answer is c because you turn 17.5% into a decimal which gives you .175 then you times that by $361.35 which gives you 63.23625 but then you round that which gives you 63.24. then you at 63.24 pulse 361.35 and you round it which gives you $425
