8(6q – 9) and 48q – 72 are they equivalent

Yes

Explanation: To find out if 8(6q - 9) is equivalent to 48q - 72, we can use the distributive property which is a form of multiplication.

The distributive property tells us that if we're given an

expression such as 8(6q - 9), we can multiply the 8 by

both the 6q and the -9 to get 48q - 72.

Since 48q - 72 is the same as 48q - 72,

we know that they are equivalent.
