Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. (6m -7)\cdot 4 =(6m−7)⋅4=left parenthesis, 6, m, minus, 7, r

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

$(6m-7)\cdot4$ is equivalent to 24m-28

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property enables us get rid of parentheses by multiplying the term outside by each of the term inside; a bit like algebraic expansion

It states that:

$(a+b)\cdot c = a\cdot c+ b\cdot c$

Therefore $(6m-7)\cdot4=6m\cdot4-7\cdot4=24m-28$

Thus 24m-28 is the equivalent expression
