Which of these is equivalent to the following? 14(3x-2)(1 point) Responses
1. 42x + 28
2. 42x - 2
3. 42x + 2
4. 42x - 28
The equivalent expression to 14(3x-2) is 42x - 28. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. 42x - 28.
To find which expression is equivalent to 14(3x-2), you can distribute 14 to both terms inside the parentheses. Start by multiplying 14 by 3x and then by -2.
14 * 3x = 42x
14 * -2 = -28
So the equivalent expression is 42x - 28. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
To find the equivalent expression for 14(3x - 2), you need to distribute the 14 to each term inside the parentheses.
First, multiply 14 by the first term, which is 3x:
14 * 3x = 42x
Next, multiply 14 by the second term inside the parentheses, which is -2:
14 * -2 = -28
So the equivalent expression for 14(3x - 2) is 42x - 28.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. 42x - 28.
