Question

Which expression is equivalent to
42−14

Answer 1

4(x - 3)

Explanation:

When you put brackets around a binomial (has 2 parts separated by a plus / - sign), you must take out a common factor from both terms separated by the + or - sign

A only has the 4 taken away from the x. The answer is not A

B has the 3 removed from the 12, not the x, so B is not the answer.

C that's the answer.
