To solve this you would have to use a reverse PEMDAS- it would be easy to start out simplifying the equation so -12 + 7 would be -5. (-5 = -5 (x+2))Next you can try to get rid of the -5 outside the parentheses by adding 5 to both sides, now making the problem 0 = x + 2. So, subtract the two from both sides and you are left with your answer -2= x

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.<br><br> (6m – 7). 4=
Savatey [412]

Answer: 24m-28

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the distributive property ,

a(b+c) = ab+ac

(b+c)a = ba+ca , where a, b and c are any arbitrary expressions.

Given expression : (6m-7)\cdot4

By using distributive property , we have

(6m - 7)\cdot 4= (6m)(4)-(7)(4)\\\\= (6)(4)(m)-28 \ \ \ [\text{By associative property}]\\\\=24m-28

Hence, the required equivalent expression is 24m-28.
