Question

Which expressions are equivalent to 4m + 12? Choose ALL that apply.
​

Answer 1

Your answers are 6m-2m+12 and 4(m+3).

Explanation:

This is because for 6m-2m+12, you are dealing with like terms. You are subtracting 6m-2m.

4(m+3) on the other hand, you are using the distributive property. You would carry the 4 to the m and to the 3.

Once you've done that with both of those expressions, they will both equal 4m+12.
