Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you consider matched parentheses to identify the contents of a "bag", the multiplier outside parentheses tells you how many bags you have. When you use the distributive property, you effectively dump all those bags on the table.
Here, the expression 4(6v +4) tells you there are 4 bags and each one contains 6v and 4. When you open them all up, you have ...
4(6v +4) = 6v +6v +6v +6v +4 +4 +4 +4
Of course, we can use multiplication to simplify repeated addition, so we can also write this as ...
4(6v +4) = 4·6v +4·4 = 24v +16
