Answer: Yes
Explanation: To find out if 8(6q - 9) is equivalent to 48q - 72, we can use the distributive property which is a form of multiplication.
The distributive property tells us that if we're given an
expression such as 8(6q - 9), we can multiply the 8 by
both the 6q and the -9 to get 48q - 72.
Since 48q - 72 is the same as 48q - 72,
we know that they are equivalent.
