Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. 4\left(3 + \dfrac14c - \dfrac12d\right) =4(3+ 4 1 ​ c− 2 1 ​ d)=

Answer 1

answer = 12+c-2d

.......................................................

Answer 2

The equivalent expression is
`12+c-2d`

Explanation:

Using the distributive property we expand the expression

`4\left(3 + \frac14c - \frac12d\right)`

as follows:

`4\left(3 + \frac14c - \frac12d\right)=(4*3)+(4*(1)/(4) c)-(4*(1)/(2) d)`

`=(12)+(c)-(2d)`

`=\boxed{ 12+c-2d}`

which is the equivalent expression.
