Question

Drag each expression to show whether it is equivalent to
12(m + 4), 12m + 4, or neither.

Answer 1

The given two expressions are not equivalent.

Explanation:

The given expressions are:

1) 12(m+4)

2)12m+4

We take the first expression and simplify it:

12(m+4) = 12m + 48

The second expression:

12m+4

Clearly,

12m+48 ≠ 12m+4

Hence, the two given expressions are not equivalent.
