A:
Answer:1 ⇒ D2 ⇒ H3 ⇒ B 4 ⇒ G5 ⇒ A6 ⇒ F7 ⇒ E8 ⇒ CStep-by-step explanation:* Lets explain how to solve the problem- The left column has expressions and the right column has the   equivalent expressions- We must find the equivalent letter for each number1. # 7(12)∵ 12 can be a sum of two numbers∴ The equivalent expression to 7(12) is 7(8 + 4)∴ 1 ⇒ D2. # 3(15)∵ 3 can be a sum of two numbers∴ The equivalent expression to 3(15) is (2 + 1)(15)∴ 2 ⇒ H3.# 3a + 9∵ 3 and 9 have a common factor 3∵ 3a + 9 ⇒ divide them by 3∵ 3a ÷ 3 = a and 9 ÷ 3 = 3∴ 3a + 9 = 3(a + 3)∴ The equivalent expression to 3a + 9 is 3(a + 3)∴ 3 ⇒ B4.# 9a + 3∵ 9 and 3 have a common factor 3∵ 9a + 3 ⇒ divide them by 3∵ 9a ÷ 3 = 3a and 3 ÷ 3 = 1∴ 9a + 3 = 3(3a + 1)∴ The equivalent expression to 9a + 3 is 3(3a + 1)∴ 4 ⇒ G5.# 5 + 15a ∵ 5 and 15 have a common factor 5∵ 5 + 15a ⇒ divide them by 5∵ 5 ÷ 5 = 1 and 15a ÷ 5 = 3a∴ 5 + 15a = 5(1 + 3a)∴ The equivalent expression to 5 + 15a is 5(1 + 3a)∴ 5 ⇒ A6.# 10 + 5a∵ 10 and 5 have a common factor 5∵ 10 + 5a ⇒ divide them by 5∵ 10 ÷ 5 = 2 and 5a ÷ 5 = a∴ 10 + 5a = 5(2 + aa)∴ The equivalent expression to 10 + 5a is 5(2 + a)∴ 6 ⇒ F7.# 3x + 6y + 9z∵ The coefficient of x , y , z have a common factor 3∵ 3x ÷ 3 = x∵ 6y ÷ 3 = 2y∵ 9z ÷ 3 = 3z∴ 3x + 6y + 9z = 3(x + 2y + 3z)∴ The equivalent expression to 3x + 6y + 9z is 3(x + 2y + 3z)∴ 7 ⇒ E8.# 3x + 3y + 3z∵ The coefficient of x , y , z have a common factor 3∵ 3x ÷ 3 = x∵ 3y ÷ 3 = y∵ 3z ÷ 3 = z∴ 3x + 3y + 3z = 3(x + y + z)∴ The equivalent expression to 3x + 3y + 3z is 3(x + y + z)∴ 8 ⇒ C
