which of these is equivalent to the following? 14(3x-2)
42x +28
42x -2
42x+2
42x-28
The equivalent expression to 14(3x-2) is 42x-28.
To find the equivalent expression for 14(3x-2), you need to distribute the 14 to both terms inside the parentheses. This means multiplying 14 by both 3x and -2.
14(3x-2) becomes:
42x - 28
