Are Functions 1 and 2 the same? Explain.

Function 1: y = 3(x + 5)
Function 2: y equals three times x, plus 5.


A)
No, 3(x + 5) = 15x and “three times x, plus 5” would be 3x + 5.


B)
Yes, 3(x + 5) and “three times x, plus 5” are both equal to 15x.


C)
Yes, 3(x + 5) and “three times x, plus 5” are both equal to 3x + 5.


D)
No, 3(x + 5) = 3x + 15 and “three times x, plus 5” would be 3x + 5.
