Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.
(6e - 3f - 4) •2

Answer 1

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression

`(6e - 3f - 4) * 2 = 12e -6f-8`

Solution:

Given that we have to apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression

Given expression is:

`(6e - 3f - 4) * 2`

Distributive property allows to multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products

By distributive property,

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Therefore, from given,

`(6e - 3f - 4) * 2`

Distribute 2 to terms inside the parenthesis

`(6e - 3f - 4) * 2 = (6e * 2) + (-3f * 2) + (-4 * 2)\\\\(6e - 3f - 4) * 2 = 12e -6f -8`

Thus the equivalent expression is found
