Question

1. 56m - 56n and 56(m - n)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

By the distributive property \(a(b - c)=ab - ac\). Here \(a = 56\), \(b=m\) and \(c = n\). So \(56(m - n)=56\times m-56\times n=56m - 56n\).

Answer:

The expressions \(56m - 56n\) and \(56(m - n)\) are equivalent.
