Hi there!  

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:  

The expressions given are not equivalent.

»»————-　★　————-««  

Here’s why:  

  • We can check if the expressions are equivalent by simplifying one of them.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

[tex]\boxed{3(a+2B)}\\\\---------\\\rightarrow3*a = 3a\\\\\rightarrow3 * 2B = 6B\\\\\text{Therefore:}\\\\3(a+2B)=\boxed{3a+6B}\\\\\text{and}\\\\\boxed{3(a+2B)\neq 3a+3B}[/tex]

⸻⸻⸻⸻

  • You can also say that they are not equivalent because it was not completely distributed.
