Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

$12+c-2d$

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct expression of the problem is

$4\left(3 + \dfrac14c - \dfrac12d\right)$

Applying the distributive property

$4\left(3 + \dfrac14c - \dfrac12d\right)=(4*3)+(4*\dfrac{1}{4} c)-(4*\dfrac{1}{2} d)=(12)+(c)-(2d)$

therefore

The equivalent expression is equal to

$12+c-2d$
