Question

How could you correctly rewrite 4(5+3)=2(22-6) using the distributive property

Answer 1

The correct value in its simplified form 32 = 32

So that we can write this expression in its correct form - it's just multiplying the terms outside the parentheses - for the terms that are inside the symbol.

Resolution

4( 5 + 3 ) = 2( 22 - 6 )

4 · 5 + 4 · 3 = 2 · 22 - 2 · 6

20 + 12 = 44 - 12

32 = 32

Therefore, the correct simplified form of this question is 32 = 32. So, the equality is true.
