$4 y - 12$ $4y-12$

VirtualNerd

Given: $4 (y - 3)$ $4(y-3)$ We can apply the distributive property to write:

$4 \cdot y + 4 \cdot - 3$ $color(red)(4)*y+color(red)(4)*-3$

$= 4 y +$ $=4y+$ $- 12$ $-12$

$= 4 y - 12$ $=4y-12$

Therefore we can say that this is an equivalent expression for $4 (y - 3)$ $4(y-3)$

Mathematically speaking:

$4 (y - 3) = 4 y - 12$ $4(y-3)=4y-12$
