B) 24 + 6x
C) 9x + 24
D) 302

Respuesta :

Answer:

B) 24 + 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 14 + 3x + 10 =

[Associative property of addition, regrouping will not change the sum]

(3x + 3x) + (14 + 10) =

[Add like terms, so that each term is organized]

6x + 24 [This is the simplified version]

24 + 6x [This is the same thing due to the commutative property of addition, changing the order will not change the sum]
