Question

Which expressions are equivalent to 4m+12. Chose all that apply

Answer 1

✔️4(m + 3)

✔️6m - 2m + 12

Explanation:

✔️4(m + 3)

4*m +4*3 (distributive property

4m + 12

Therefore, 4(m + 3) = 4m + 12

✔️6m - 2m + 12

4m + 12

Therefore, 6m - 2m + 12 = 4m + 12

✔️3m - m + 12

2m + 12

Therefore, 3m - m + 12 ≠ 4m + 12

✔️4(m + 12)

4*m + 4*12

4m + 48

Therefore, 4(m + 12) ≠ 4m + 12
