Answer:


4(3+(1)/(4)c-(1)/(2)d )=12+c-2d

Explanation:

The given expression is


4(3+(1)/(4)c-(1)/(2)d )

If we apply the distributive property, we must multiply 4 by each term inside the parenthesis, as follows


3 * 4 + (1)/(4)c * 4-(1)/(2)d * 4=12+c-2d

Therefore, the equivalent expression is


4(3+(1)/(4)c-(1)/(2)d )=12+c-2d
