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

1 answer

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

8 * 3 + 8 * j

Simplifying the expression, we get:

24 + 8j

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 8 (3 + j) is 24 + 8j.
