Answer:

Jimmy wrote two expression that are not equivalent .

Explanation:

Jimmy applied the distributive property to write the equation below

24+6=6(4+2)

Distributive property:

a.(b+c)=a.b+a.c

LHS( left hand side ):

24+6=30

By addition property of integers

RHS( right hand side):

6(4+2)

=
6* 4+ 6* 2

By simplification

=24+12

=36


30\\eq 32

LHS
\\eqRHS

Hence, Jimmy wrote two expression that are not equivalent.
