Question

Expression

1. Use the Distributive Property to write -4(7 - 1) as an equivalent expression
What is the value of the expression?

Answer 1

The value of the expression is -24

This is because you distribute the -4 to both of the values in the parenthesis like this:
-4(7) + -4(-1)
This can be simplified to:
-28 + 4
Which equals -24
Hope this helps!
