d.w<5

Answer 1

8a - 48

Explanation:

An equivalent expression is an expression which is equal to 8(a-6). You can expand or simplify an expression to make an equivalent expression. Apply the distributive property to form a new equivalent expression by multiplying 8 into each term. 8(a-6) = 8*a - 8*6 = 8a - 48. The options listed below do not connect to this problem since they do not use the same variable as the expression.
