STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the expression 3(5f+7)+7f3(5f+7)+7f. . We are asked to find the expressions that are equivalent to the given expression.

STEP 2

First, let's simplify the given expression by applying the distributive property of multiplication over addition, which states that for all real numbers a, b, and c, the equation a(b + c) = ab + ac holds.
(5f+7)+7f=15f+21+7f(5f+7)+7f =15f +21 +7f

STEP 3

Combine like terms.
15f+21+7f=22f+2115f +21 +7f =22f +21

STEP 4

Now, let's apply the same steps to each of the provided expressions to see if they simplify to the same result.
For the first expression, (7f+3)+7f(7f+3)+7f, apply the distributive property(7f+3)+7f=35f+15+7f(7f+3)+7f =35f +15 +7f

STEP 5

Combine like terms.
35f+15+7f=42f+1535f +15 +7f =42f +15

STEP 6

For the second expression, (3f+5)+f(3f+5)+f, apply the distributive property(3f+5)+f=21f+35+f(3f+5)+f =21f +35 +f

STEP 7

Combine like terms.
21f+35+7f=28f+3521f +35 +7f =28f +35

STEP 8

For the third expression, 3(4f+f+7)+7f3(4f+f+7)+7f, apply the distributive property3(4f+f+7)+7f=12f+3f+21+7f3(4f+f+7)+7f =12f +3f +21 +7f

STEP 9

Combine like terms.
12f+3f+21+7f=22f+2112f +3f +21 +7f =22f +21

STEP 10

The fourth expression, 12f+2112f+21, is already simplified.

STEP 11

Now, compare each of the simplified expressions with the simplified form of the given expression, 22f+2122f +21.
The first expression, 42f+1542f +15, is not equivalent to 22f+2122f +21.
The second expression, 28f+3528f +35, is not equivalent to 22f+2122f +21.
The third expression, 22f+2122f +21, is equivalent to 22f+2122f +21.
The fourth expression, f+21f +21, is not equivalent to 22f+2122f +21.
So, the expressions equivalent to 3(5f+7)+7f3(5f+7)+7f are3(4f+f+7)+7f3(4f+f+7)+7f
