Which to expressions are equivalent to 3.2 (4p + 8.5)? 3.2 (Ap) + 3.2(8.5)
7.2p+8.5
12.8p+ 27.2
15.7p
40p

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

A is equivalent to the expression because it just expanded the equation more a bit. It's distributed, but not solved. Like 3.2 (4p +8.5) is the same as 3.2 (4p) + 3.2 (8.5) since in both 3.2 is being distributed or multiplied by both numbers.

C is equivalent to the expression because it simplified the expression more. 3.2 times 4p is 12.8p. 3.2 times 8.5 is 27.2. The expression cannot be simplified.
