Question

The equivalent expression of 2a + 8 is ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

• 8+2a

Step-by-step explanation:

     Switching the order of the terms comes out as an equivalent expression.

Whatever A is, if we multiply it by 8 and add 2, it will be equivalent to the sum of the same number times multiplied by 8 and 2.

I hope that helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

2(a +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property:  a*b + a * c = a*(b+c)

Factorize 2 & 8  and find GCF of 2 & 8

2 = 2

8 = 2* 2*2

GCF = 2

2a + 8 =  2a + 2*4

           = 2(a + 4)
