1 answer

To find an expression equivalent to \(4(-14)\), let's evaluate it:

\[ 4(-14) = -56 \]

Now, let's analyze the provided responses:

  1. \(4 + -14\) equals \(-10\).
  2. \(4(-10 + 4)\) simplifies to \(4(-6) = -24\).
  3. \(4(-10) + 4(-4)\) simplifies to \(-40 + -16 = -56\).
  4. \(56\) is not equal to \(-56\).

The expression that is equivalent to \(4(-14)\) is:

\[ 4(-10) + 4(-4) \quad \text{(which simplifies to } -56\text{)} \]

Thus, the correct response is:

4(-10) + 4(-4)
