Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. \dfrac12(2a - 6b+ 8) = 2 1 (2a−6b+8)=start fraction, 1, divided by, 2, end fraction, left parenthesis, 2, a, minus, 6, b, plus, 8, right parenthesis, equals

The equivalent expression after distribution is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

We need to apply distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

By distributive property of multiplication, the term outside the parenthesis is multiplied by each of the terms inside the parenthesis. It is given as:

We have,

⇒

Using distribution:

⇒

⇒

⇒

Thus, the equivalent expression after distribution is:

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
