Use distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to each expression. - 8 (-x-3/4y+7/2

8x + 6y - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The outside factor applies to each inside term, so the equivalent expression is ...

-8 (-x - 3/4y + 7/2) = 8x + 6y - 28

Applying the distributive property once again, we can also write the equivalent expression ...

= 2 (4x + 3y - 14)

There are an infinite number of other equivalent expressions. The problem statement is non-specific as to the acceptable form.
