Question

2(-6+4z) answer to my problem

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be 8x - 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 ( -6 + 4z)

= (2) ( -6 + 4z)

= (2) ( -6) + (2) (4z)

= 12 + 8z

= 8z - 12

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Expanded answer: 8z - 12

OR

Factored answer: 4(2z - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using the distributive property. This is when you multiply the number outside the brackets by each number inside the brackets.

2(-6 + 4z)

= (-6)(2) + (4z)(2)        Multiply each number by 2

= -12 + 8z        When you can, try not to start with a negative number.

= 8z - 12        This is the answer in expanded form

Refactored:

"8z" and "12" have a GCF (greatest common factor) of 4. Take out "4" from the expression to factor.

8z - 12

= 4( 8z/4 - 12/4 )        Divide each term by 4.

= 4(2z - 3)         This expression is equivalent when you need it fully factored.
