Question

Use the distributive property to generate an expression equivalent to 8(3+j)

Answer 1

Using the distributive property, we can distribute the 8 to both terms inside the parentheses:

8(3 + j) = 8 * 3 + 8 * j

This simplifies to:

24 + 8j

Therefore, an expression equivalent to 8(3 + j) using the distributive property is 24 + 8j.
