Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. 7(4p + 2q + 3r) =?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent expression is $28p+14q+21r$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says for any numbers a, b c, and d

$d*(a+b+c)=a*d+b*d+c*d$

which basically says you should multiply the coefficient $d$ by every term in the parenthesis to get an equivalent expression.

Applying the distributive proper to the expression $7(4p+2q+3r)$ we get:

$7(4p+2q+3r)=7*4p+7*2q+7*3r$

$=\boxed{28p+14q+21r}$

which is an equivalent expression to $7(4p+2q+3r)$.
