Use properties of operations to determine whether 4r + 4t and 4(r+t) are equivalent. Explain your answer.

There is only one property used to determine whether

.

The property is called the distributive property and in a nutshell it states, , which means is distributed through using multiplication. So says, distribute to and which then translates into .
