Answer 1

The given expression is simplified as : −34 (24 − 12 x) = -816 + 408 x

Explanation:

The given expression is given as:

−34 (24 − 12 x)

Now, by DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY:

A( B -C) = AB - AC

Applying the same distributive property in the given expression ,we get

−34 (24 − 12 x) = (-34) (24) - (-34)(12 x)

= -816 + 408 x

or, −34 (24 − 12 x) = -816 + 408 x

Hence, the given expression is simplified as

−34 (24 − 12 x) = -816 + 408 x
