Question

True or false, the two expressions are equivalent.

3(4a - 2) and 12a - 6

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

its true because 3(4a - 2) you would do 3 x 4a and instead of 4 - 2 you would change it to 4 + 2 after that you would do 3 x 4a = 4a + 2 which gives you

12a - 6

so yes they are equivalent

Hope this helps
