Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

$4x-8+4y$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an expression

$4(x-2+y)$

We have to find an equivalent expression using distributive property .

Distributive property:

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

Using the property

$4(x-2+y)=4(x-2)+4\cdot y$

$4(x-2+y)=4x+4(-2)+4y$

$4(x-2+y)=4x-8+4y$

Hence, the equivalent expression  of the given expression is given  by

$4x-8+4y$
