Question

Use the distributive property to write each expression as an

equivalent algebraic expression.

a. 4(x + 5)
b. 3(2x - 4)
C. -2(x - 6)

Answer 1

#a

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 4(x+5)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 4x+20`

#b

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 3(2x-4)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 6x-12`

#c

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -2(x-6)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto -2x+12`

Answer 2

Use the distributive property to write each expression as an equivalent algebraic expression:-

a.) 4(x + 5) = 4x + (4 x 5 ).

= 4x + 20 .

b.) 3(2x - 4) = 3 x 2x = 6x - (3 x -4 )

= 6x - 12 .

C.) -2(x - 6) = -2x - ( -2 x -6 ) .

= -2x - 12 .

Hope this helps you !!
