Question

A rectangle with width of 4. There is a vertical line that splits rectangle into two sections with different lengths. One length is x the other is 2. 4(x + 2) represents the area of the rectangle above. Which expression below is equivalent by the Distributive Property? (x + 2) ⋅ 4 4x + 8 (4 + x) + 2 4x + 2 will pick brainiest!

Answer 1

Answer:

4x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you distribute 4(x+2) using the distributive property, which states that multiplying each number individually by a same # is the same as multiplying the #s' sum by that #.

Thus, 4*(x+2) is the same as 4*x+4*2 which simplifies to 4x+8, Option 2
