Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression
[tex](6e - 3f - 4) \times 2 = 12e -6f-8[/tex]
Solution:
Given that we have to apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression
Given expression is:
[tex](6e - 3f - 4) \times 2[/tex]
Distributive property allows to multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products
By distributive property,
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Therefore, from given,
[tex](6e - 3f - 4) \times 2[/tex]
Distribute 2 to terms inside the parenthesis
[tex](6e - 3f - 4) \times 2 = (6e \times 2) + (-3f \times 2) + (-4 \times 2)\\\\(6e - 3f - 4) \times 2 = 12e -6f -8[/tex]
Thus the equivalent expression is found
