Priya rewrites the expression 8y−24 as 8(y−3). Han rewrites 8y−24 as 2(4y−12). Are Priya's and Han's expressions each equivalent to 8y−24? Explain your reasoning
Yes, because Han’s expression is 8(y-3) which is 8 x y which equals 8y and then 8 x -3 which equals -24. Priya’s is 2(4y-12). 2 x 4y = 8y and 2 x -12 = -24
