3(x+y)= 3xtimes 3y 3x+3y C 3x-3y none of the above

The correct answer is B) .To solve this problem, we need to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition. The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the expression a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac.In this case, we have the expression . To apply the distributive property, we multiply 3 by each term inside the parentheses: Therefore, the correct answer is B) .
