Which expressions correctly show "the sum of the product of 3 and 8 and the product of 12 and 2"? Select two that are correct. * 3 + 8 + 12 + 2
(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)
3 × 8 × 12 × 2
(3 + 8) × (12 + 2)
(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

The two correct expressions are:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'b' be the two numbers.

When we say the product of 'a' and 'b', it

Let 'c' and 'd' be the two numbers.

When we say the product of 'c' and 'd', it

And when we say the sum of the product of 'a' and 'b' and the product of 'c' and 'd', it algebraically means:

(a × b) + (c × d)

or

(c × d) + (a × b)

as

(a × b) + (c × d) = (c × d) + (a × b)

So when we say "the sum of the product of 3 and 8 and the product of 12 and 2".

It algebraically means:

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8)

or

(3 × 8) + (12 × 2)

as

(12 × 2) + (3 × 8) = 24 + 24      ∵ 12 × 2 = 24, 3 × 8 = 24

                           = 48

(3 × 8) + (12 × 2) = 24 + 24      ∵  3 × 8 = 24, 12 × 2 = 24,

                          = 48

Therefore, the two correct expressions are:
