I'll be glad to check your answer.
Right.
To find the expression that is equivalent to 11(10 – 8p), we can use the distributive property. The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a(b - c) is equal to ab - ac.
Using this property, we can distribute the 11 to both terms within the parentheses:
11(10 - 8p) = (11 * 10) - (11 * 8p)
Simplifying further:
= 110 - 88p
Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to 11(10 – 8p) is option B: 110 - 88p.
