Question

Use the distributive property to match equivalent expressions.
74-4 - x)
28 - 7x
-28 - 7x
-7(4-x)
28 + 7x
7(4 + x)
-28 + 7x
-7(4+x)

Answer 1

Answer:

7(-4 - x) = -28 - 7x

-7(4 - x) = -28 + 7x

7(4 + x) = 28 + 7x

-7(-4 + x) = 28 - 7x

Step-by-step explanation:

To apply the distributive property, use the term outside the bracket to multiply each of the term you have inside the bracket.

Thus:

✔️7(-4 - x) = 7(-4) +7(-x)

= -28 - 7x

✔️-7(4 - x) = -7(4) -7(-x)

= -28 + 7x

✔️7(4 + x) = 7(4) + 7(+x)

28 + 7x

✔️-7(-4 + x) = -7(-4) -7(+x)

= 28 - 7x
