Question

Use the Distributive Property to write an expression that is equivalent to 4(y - 3).

Answer 1

Answer:

4y-12

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a sum (or difference) by a factor, each summand (or minuend and subtrahend) is multiplied by this factor and the resulting products are added (or subtracted).

If the operation outside the parentheses (in this case, the multiplication) is commutative, then left-distributivity implies right-distributivity and vice versa, and one talks simply of distributivity.
