Given the equation:
-2(⅔x + 7)
Determine the property used to expand the expression.
Solution:
In order to expand the expression, we can use the distributive property of multiplication, whereas we distribute, or multiply -2 to each value inside the parenthesis.
= -2(⅔x + 7)
= -4/3 x - 14
Hence, since we do not have any other conditions, then we can assume that we have our final answer.
Final answer:
= -4/3 x - 14
