Answer:
<h3>
By using the distributive property the matched equivalent expressions are</h3><h3>
1) -7(-4+x)
=28-7x
</h3><h3>
2) -7(4-x)
=-28+7x
</h3><h3>
3) 7(4+x)
=28+7x
</h3><h3>
4) 7(-4-x)
=-28-7x
</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that by using the distributive property to match the given equivalent expressions.
1) Given expression is -7(-4+x)
<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>
-7(-4+x)
=(-7)(-4)+(-7)(x)
=28-7x
<h3>∴ -7(-4+x)
=28-7x
</h3>
2) Given expression is -7(4-x)
<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>
-7(4-x)
=(-7)(4)+(-7)(-x)
=-28+7x
<h3>∴ -7(4-x)
=-28+7x
</h3>
3) Given expression is 7(4+x)
<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>
7(4+x)
=(7)(4)+(7)(x)
=28+7x
<h3>∴ 7(4+x)
=28+7x
</h3>
4) Given expression is 7(-4-x)
<h3>By Distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac</h3>
7(-4-x)
=(7)(-4)+(7)(-x)
=-28-7x
<h3>∴ 7(-4-x)
=-28-7x
</h3>
Hence the matched equivalent expressions are
1) -7(-4+x)
=28-7x
2) -7(4-x)
=-28+7x
3) 7(4+x)
=28+7x
4) 7(-4-x)
=-28-7x
