Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2

According to the model above, 4, left parenthesis, 8, w, minus, 4, right parenthesis, equals4(8w−4)=

Answer 1

To fill in the missing values in the area model for the expression \(4(8w - 4)\), we can break down the expression using the distributive property.

1. Distribute \(4\) to both terms in the parentheses: \[ 4(8w) - 4(4) \]

2. Calculate each term: \[ 4(8w) = 32w \] \[ 4(-4) = -16 \]

So, the expression \(4(8w - 4)\) can be simplified as: \[ 4(8w - 4) = 32w - 16 \]

In the area model you've provided, the arrangement can be visualized as:

• The area representing \(4\) on one side.
• The area representing \(8w\) on the other side.
• The area representing \(-4\) completing the rectangle.

Therefore, the missing values are:

• The area corresponding to \(8w\) is \(32w\).
• The area corresponding to \(-4\) is \(-16\).

Final summary: \[ \text{Answer: } 32w - 16 \]
