Answer 1

`12+c-2d`

Explanation:

The correct expression of the problem is

`4\left(3 + \frac14c - \frac12d\right)`

Applying the distributive property

`4\left(3 + \frac14c - \frac12d\right)=(4*3)+(4*(1)/(4) c)-(4*(1)/(2) d)=(12)+(c)-(2d)`

therefore

The equivalent expression is equal to

`12+c-2d`
