Which expression is equivalent to (jk)l?

Answer
A
(j + k) + l
B
j(kl)
C
(2jk)l
D
(j + k)l

Explanation

The associative property of multiplication lets you change the grouping without changing the product: (jk)l = j(kl). Choice B has the same factors, j, k, and l, grouped differently. The other choices either use addition or introduce an extra factor of 2.
