how could you correctly rewrite the equation 4(5 + 3) = 2(22 − 6) using the distributive property?
12 + 20 = − 12 + 44
20 + 12 = 44 − 12
20 + 18 = 44 − 6
20 + 3 = 44 − 6

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property left side

$4(5+3) = 4\times5 + 4\times3 = 20 + 12$

Step2: Apply distributive property right side

$2(22-6) = 2\times22 - 2\times6 = 44 - 12$

Step3: Match rewritten equation

Combine results: $20 + 12 = 44 - 12$

Answer:

20 + 12 = 44 - 12
