Answer to Problem 46CR

The expression can be written as $4m+32$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The expression is $\left(m+8\right)4$ .

Calculation:

Use associative property to rewrite the equation as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \left(m+8\right)4\\ \Rightarrow 4\left(m+8\right)\end{array}$

Use distributive property to rewrite the equation as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 4\left(m+8\right)\\ \Rightarrow 4\cdot m+4\cdot 8\\ \Rightarrow 4m+32\end{array}$

Thus, the expression can be written as $4m+32$ .
