Equivalent expression is said to be equivalent if two algebraic expressions are equalized by substituting the values of the variables.
The equivalent expression to 3p+12m+8 is:
We can see that both 3 and 12 can be divided by 3 (3:3=1, 12:3=4) so we can write the expression as: 3*(p+4m)+8=3p+12m+8
Answer:
The equivalent expression to 3p+ 12 m + 8 are
1. 3p+ 12 m + 8
= 3 × p + 3 × 4× m + 4 ×2
= 3 (p + 4 m) + 8 → Using inverse of distributive property: a × b + a × c= a×(b+c)
2. 3p+ 12 m + 8
=3 × p + 3 × 4×m + 4 ×2
= 3 p + 4 (3 m + 2)→ Using inverse of distributive property: a × b + a × c= a×(b+c)
