Question

Write an expression that shows the sum of exactly two terms that is equivilent to -3(9-7m).

Answer 1

To determine a sum of exactly two terms that is equivalent to -3(9-7m), we can use the distributive property of multiplication:

`a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c`

Then,

`-3(9-7m)=-27+21m`

The sum of -27 and 21m is equivalent to -3(9-7m).
