Which expression could be used to determine the reduction of -4 and 3 1/4

The expression that could be used is (-4)(3) + (-4)() ⇒ B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the distributive property:

The product of a number and the sum of 2 other numbers equal to the sum of the products of the number with the other 2 numbers

We will use this rule to solve the question

∵ The product of -4 and 3 = -4 × 3

→ We can right 3  as (3 + )

∵ 3 = (3 + )

∴ -4 × 3 = -4(3 + )

→ By using the rule above

∵ -4(3 + ) = (-4)(3) + (-4)()

∴ -4 × 3  = (-4)(3) + (-4)()

∴ The expression that could be used is (-4)(3) + (-4)()
