Question

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression.2(s−6t+8)

Answer 1

Answer:

2s - 12t + 16

Explanation:

The distributive property says that:

$a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Therefore, we can multiply 2 by each term of the expression in parenthesis. So, applying the distributive property, we get:

$\begin{gathered} 2(s-6t+8)=2s-2(6t)+2(8) \\ 2(s-6t+8)=2s-12t+16 \end{gathered}$

So, the answer is:

2s - 12t + 16
