Question

How could you correctly rewrite the equation 4(5 + 3) = 2(22 - 6) using the distributive property?

Answer 1

Explanation:

4(5 + 3) = 2(22 - 6)

4(8) = 2(16)

32 = 32

Answer 2

We can correctly rewrite the equation: 4(5+3) = 2(22-6) by distributing each side.

4(5+3) = 2(22-6)

4(8) = 2(16)

32 = 32

Once you finish distributing each side, you can check to see if it is equal on both sides.
