Hope this helps! :)

By using distributive property an equivalent expression to the given 3 + 2(2p + 4t) would be 3 + 4p + 8t.

What is distributive property?

The distributive property states that an expression of the form A(B + C) can be solved by a multiplication over addition operation that is

A(B + C) = AB + AC

This property is known by distributive law and applies to subtraction also.

We have given an expression as

= 3 + 2(2p + 4t)

Using distributive property

= 3 + (2 × 2p) + (2 × 4t)

= 3 + 4p + 8t

Thus, 3 + 4p + 8t is an equivalent expression.
