Explain how the Distributive Property can be used to solve the equation.
3(x + 4) = 36.
a. Add 3 to each term inside the parentheses, then use inverse operations to solve.
b. Subtract 3 from each term inside the parentheses, then subtract 12 from both sides.
c. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3, then use inverse operations to solve.
d. Divide both terms inside the parentheses by 3, then subtract 12 from both sides.
