Which expression is equivalent to \( 4(v+6) \) ? \[ 4 v+24 \] \[ 24 v+4 \] \( 10 v \) \[ 24 v \]

To find an equivalent expression for \( 4(v+6) \), first apply the distributive property: multiply \( 4 \) by both \( v \) and \( 6 \). This gives you \( 4v + 24 \). So, the correct answer is \( 4v + 24 \). If you're not careful with the distributive property, you might end up choosing an incorrect option! Common mistakes include adding instead of distributing or miscalculating the constants. Always double-check your calculations to avoid these pitfalls!
