Question

1. choose the expanded form of this expression 4(\frac{1}{4}a + b - 6)\

\bigcirc a + b - 24\
\bigcirc 4a - 6b\
\bigcirc 4a + b - 6\
\bigcirc a + 4b - 24

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Distributive Property

The distributive property states that \( c(a + b)=ca+cb \). For the expression \( 4(7a + b - 6) \), we distribute the 4 to each term inside the parentheses:
\( 4\times7a+4\times b - 4\times6 \)

Step2: Calculate Each Product

Calculate each product:
\( 4\times7a = 28a \), \( 4\times b = 4b \), and \( 4\times6 = 24 \). So the expression becomes:
\( 28a+4b - 24 \) Wait, there seems to be a mis - reading of the original problem. Wait, maybe the original expression is \( 4(a + b-6) \) (maybe a typo in the 7a). Let's re - examine. If the expression is \( 4(a + b - 6) \), then:

Step1: Apply Distributive Property

Using \( c(a + b + c)=ca+cb+cc \), for \( 4(a + b-6) \), we have \( 4\times a+4\times b-4\times6 \)

Step2: Calculate Each Term

\( 4\times a = 4a \), \( 4\times b = 4b \), \( 4\times6 = 24 \). So the expression is \( 4a + 4b-24 \), which is one of the options (the last option: \( 4a + 4b - 24 \) (assuming the option is \( 4a + 4b-24 \) as per the last option's text "4a + 4b - 24")).

Answer:

The correct option is the last one (assuming the options are ordered from left to right and the last option is \( 4a + 4b - 24 \)): \( 4a + 4b - 24 \) (the option with text "4a + 4b - 24")
