Question

Using the GCF and distributive property, which expressions is equivalent (equal) to 12y + 16

A 2(6y + 80)

B 4(3y + 4)

C 28y

D 16 + 12y

Answer 1

2(6y+80) = 12y+160

4(3y+4) = 12y+16

28y = 28y

16+12y = 12y+16 (did not use distributive property)

So, B is correct.

Let me know if this helps!

Answer 2

4(3y+4)

Explanation:

12y + 16

4*3*y +4*4

Factor out 4

4(3y+4)
