Question

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression.
8(3v+3w-2)

Answer 1

8(3v+3w-2)=(8×3v+8×3w-8×2)

Explanation:

8×3v=24v.

8×3w=24w. [24v+24w-16]=(8×3v+8×3w-2×8)

8×(-2)=-16.

Answer 2

24v+24w-16
I multiplied all the numbers inside the parenthesis to 8, so (8 x 3w),(8 x 3v),(8 x -2). Basically Distrbutive property is you distribute the 8 into the numbers inside the parenthesis and by distribute you just multiply. Lemme know if this is the answer you were looking for!
