Are the expressions 3(4x+8) and 12x + 24 equivalent?

Yes they are equivalent because if you do distrubitive property, first you do 3*4x=12x and 3*8=24. So you bring done the addition sign which is 12x + 24.

This is what i found “an explicit formula designates the nth term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). it defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. this example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
