Question

make a equivalent expression 8(3s+9t−6)

Answer 1

To create an equivalent expression for \( 8(3s + 9t - 6) \), you can distribute the \( 8 \) across each term inside the parentheses.

Here’s the step-by-step distribution:

1. Distribute \( 8 \) to \( 3s \):
\[
8 \times 3s = 24s
\]

2. Distribute \( 8 \) to \( 9t \):
\[
8 \times 9t = 72t
\]

3. Distribute \( 8 \) to \( -6 \):
\[
8 \times -6 = -48
\]

Now, combine all the distributed terms together:

\[
24s + 72t - 48
\]

So, the equivalent expression is:
\[
24s + 72t - 48
\]
