Question

Write an equivalent expression by distributing the "sign outside the parentheses:

4w (5.8x - 3.3)

Answer 1

To find an equivalent expression by distributing 4w through (5.8x - 3.3), multiply each term inside the parentheses by 4w to get 23.2wx - 13.2w.

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute the sign outside the parentheses for the expression 4w (5.8x - 3.3), we will perform the distribution (or multiplication) of each term inside the parentheses by 4w.

First, multiply 4w by 5.8x:

4w × 5.8x = 23.2wx

Next, multiply 4w by -3.3:

4w × (-3.3) = -13.2w

Now combine both results to get the equivalent expression:

23.2wx - 13.2w

Answer 2

23.2wx - 13.2w

Step-by-step explanation:

4w (5.8x - 3.3) =

4w * 5.8x - 4w * 3.3 = distribute 4w to 5.8x and 3.3

4 * 5.8 *w * x - 4w * 3.3 =

23.2 * w * x - 13.2w ==> simplify

23.2wx - 13.2w
