Given:
The expression is:
[tex](m-3+4n)\cdot (-8)[/tex]
To find:
The equivalent expression by using the distributive property.
Solution:
Distributive property:
[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
We have,
[tex](m-3+4n)\cdot (-8)[/tex]
Using the distributive property, we get
[tex](m-3+4n)\cdot (-8)=(m)\cdot (-8)+(-3)\cdot (-8)+(4n)\cdot (-8)[/tex]
[tex](m-3+4n)\cdot (-8)=-8m+24-32n[/tex]
Therefore, the equivalent expression is [tex]-8m+24-32n[/tex].
