Expression 4 (3n - 5) is equivalent to C: 12n - 20
Further explanation
Algebraic expressions in mathematics are a combination of coefficients, numbers, variables, constants and arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The main composition of algebraic expressions are:
- 1. phrases
algebraic forms separated by arithmetic operations
consists of one phrase (monomial) to many phrases (polynomial)
- 2. variable
is a value that can be changed, can be in the form of letters, for example, x, y, a, b, etc.
- 3. constants
is a fixed value, can be a number
- 4. arithmetic operations ⇒ +, - , : , x
Calculation operations include multiply, divide, add, substract, etc.
There are several properties in integer multiplication operations
- 1. closed property
Multiplication between integers will produce integers too
- 2. commutative property
a x b = b x a
- 3. associative property
ax (bxc) = (axb) xc
- 4. identity
ax1 = 1 x a = a
- 5. distributive property
* addition
ax (b + c) = axb + axc
* substraction
ax (b-c) = axb - axc
We can use distributive property of substraction to solve the problem
[tex]\displaystyle =4(3n-5)\\\\=4x3n - 4x5\\\\=12n-20[/tex]
"Equivalent to" means having the same value.
From the answer choices , which produce the same expression is C. 12n-20

The expression that is equivalent to [tex]4\left( {3n - 5} \right)[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{12n - 20}[/tex]. Option (C) is correct.
Further explanation:
To solve the grouping of multiplication, addition, subtraction and division always use the PEDMAS rule.
P represents the parenthesis, E represents exponents, M represents multiplication, D represents division, A represents addition and S represents subtraction.
Given:
The options are as follows,
A. [tex]7\text{n} - 20[/tex]
B. [tex]12\text{n} - 5[/tex]
C. [tex]12\text{n} - 5[/tex]
D. [tex]7\text{n} - 9[/tex]
Explanation:
The given expression is [tex]4\left( {3n - 5} \right).[/tex]
Consider the expression as [tex]\text{A}[/tex].
[tex]A = 4\left( {3n - 5} \right)[/tex]
Solve the expression [tex]A = 4\left( {3n - 5} \right)[/tex] to obtain the equivalent expression.
[tex]\begin{aligned}A &= 4\left( {3n - 5} \right)\\&= 4 \times 3n - 4 \times 5\\&= 12n- 20\\\end{aligned}[/tex]
The expression that is equivalent to [tex]4\left( {3n - 5} \right)[/tex] is [tex]\boxed{12n - 20}[/tex]. Option (C) is correct.
Option (A) is not correct.
Option (B) is not correct.
Option (C) is correct.
Option (D) is not correct.
