Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. 7(4p + 2q + 3r) =?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: 28r 14 21

Answer 2

The equivalent expression is
`28p+14q+21r`

Explanation:

The distributive property says for any numbers a, b c, and d

`d*(a+b+c)=a*d+b*d+c*d`

which basically says you should multiply the coefficient
`d` by every term in the parenthesis to get an equivalent expression.

Applying the distributive proper to the expression
`7(4p+2q+3r)` we get:

`7(4p+2q+3r)=7*4p+7*2q+7*3r`

`=\boxed{28p+14q+21r}`

which is an equivalent expression to
`7(4p+2q+3r)`.
