Rewrite this expression using the distributive property. 4 x (8 + m)
To rewrite the expression 4 x (8 + m) using the distributive property, we need to distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses.
The distributive property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c.
In this case, a = 4, b = 8, and c = m.
So, we can rewrite the expression as:
4 x (8 + m) = 4 x 8 + 4 x m
Now we can simplify it:
4 x 8 = 32 // Multiplying 4 and 8
4 x m = 4m // Multiplying 4 and m
Therefore, the expression 4 x (8 + m) rewritten using the distributive property is 32 + 4m.
