Question

Write three expressions that are equivalent to 8x + 16.

Answer 1

1. 2(4x + 8)

2. 8(x +2)

3. 4(2x +4)

Explanation:

You can check by using the distributive property!

For instance:

2 (4x +8)

2 · 4x = 8x

2 · 8 = 16

= 8x + 16

8(x +2)

8 · x = 8x

8 · 2 =16

= 8x + 16

4(2x +4)

4 · 2x = 8x

4 · 4 =16

= 8x + 16
