Part B: Expressions M and N are not equivalent for any value of x because if you do 8x + 24 = 8x + 10, the 8x will cancel out from both sides and you are left with 24 = 10, which is not true, and therefore has no solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Part A, to apply the Distributive Property, you multiple the 4 with both terms in the parentheses. So, you do 4(2x) + 4(6). This expression is equal to 8x + 24.
