Question

Which is equivalent to 8s + 20t by the distributive property?

Question 3 options:

4s(2 + 5t)


8s(1 + 3t)


8(s + 20t)


4( 2+ 5t)

Answer 1

The Answer Is 4s(2+5t).. Because If You Multiply 4s by 2 It Equals 8s and When You Multiply 4s by 5t you get 20t so therefore...8s + 20t

Answer 2

I think the given expression is

`8s+20st`

Let's check the first option , which is

`4s(2+5t)`

Using distributive property, we will get

`4s*2+4s*5t = 8s+ 20st`

Which is same to the given expression. Therefore correct option is the first option .
