Question

Jayna used the distributive property to simplify the expression 4(a + 2) and got(4a + 2). Do you agree with Jayna?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

I would not agree with Jayna because using the distributive property, you can get:

4(a + 2) = 4(a) + 4(2) = 4a + 8

Jayna did not get the right answer because she did not distribute the 4 to the 2 in a + 2 and she only multiplied a by 4.
