Question

What is 4(2x - 9) equivalent to?

Answer 1

Answer:

$8x-36$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(2x-9)$

Through distributing the $4$ into $2x$ and $-9$ (multiply), $4(2x-9)$ is equivalent to:

$8x-36$

There are other solutions for this problem, but this is the most easily reachable solution.

You can check if the solution is equivalent & correct by first dividing it by 2:

$\frac{8x-36}{2} =$

$4x-18$

With that, you can factor out a 2 from both $4x$ and $-18$ to get:

$4(2x-9)$

Therefore, this solution is correct!

Answer 2

8x-36 after you distribute. Divide that by 8 and x=4.5.
