Use the distributive property to write an equivalent variable expression.

Question

11(4 - 3 - 2t)

Answer 1

To use the distributive property, we will distribute $11$ to each term inside the parentheses $(4-3-2t)$.

Starting with the expression:

$$11(4-3-2t)$$

We distribute $11$ to each term inside the parentheses:

1. $11\times 4=44$
2. $11\times (-3)=-33$
3. $11\times (-2t)=-22t$

Now combine these results:

$$44-33-22t$$

Now, we can simplify $44-33$:

$$44-33=11$$

So, the equivalent expression is:

$$11-22t$$

Thus, the final answer is:

$$11-22t$$
