Question

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for -1/2 ( 4 - 6x)

Answer 1

Hi Konnar,

When the distributive property is used, you create two multiplication expressions as follows:

-1/2 (4- 6x) = -1/2 • 4 - (-1/2)• 6x = -2 + 3x

The equivalent expression will be -2 + 3x
