AFCT Arithmetic Reasoning Practice Test 2026 – Comprehensive Exam Prep

To determine which choice is equivalent to the expression 3(4 + 2), first, apply the arithmetic operation inside the parentheses. The expression inside the parentheses is 4 + 2, which equals 6.

Next, multiply this result by 3:

3 × 6 = 18.

Thus, the expression 3(4 + 2) simplifies to 18. Since the choice indicating this result is not C, it looks like the answer selected does not correspond to the correct evaluation of the expression. The correct answer is actually 18, which shows how careful evaluation of expressions can lead to the right result.
