Answer:

  A: 8x +24

  B: not equivalent for any value of x

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The factor of 4 on the outside of parentheses multiplies each term inside:

  M = 4(2x) +4(6)

  M = 8x +24 . . . . . expression equivalent to M

__

Part B:

Expressions M and N are not equivalent for any value of x. They are equivalent if their difference is zero or can be made to be zero. Subtracting N from M, we find the difference to be ...

  M -N = (8x +24) -(8x +10) = 14

There is no value of x that will make the difference of 14 become zero.
