Question

Write two expressions that are equivalent to:
(2-w)+(2-w)+(2-w)+(2-w)

Answer 1

i: 4(2-w)

and

ii:4(2)-4(w)

Explanation:

Answer 2

4(2-w) OR 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 - w - w - w - w OR 8-4w

Explanation:

We can simplify the given expression by combining like terms:

(2-w) + (2-w) + (2-w) + (2-w) = 4(2-w) = 8 - 4w

Alternatively, we can also distribute the 4 to each term inside the parentheses and then simplify:

(2-w) + (2-w) + (2-w) + (2-w) = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 - w - w - w - w = 8 - 4w

Thus, the two expressions that are equivalent to (2-w)+(2-w)+(2-w)+(2-w) are 4(2-w) and 8-4w.
