Question

Use the distributive to evaluate each expression
4(12 + 3)

Answer 1

Answer: 4(12 + 3) = 48 + 12 = 60

Step-by-step explanation: We will use the distributive property to evaluate the expression, 4(12 + 3)

Simply do this by multiplying the number outside of the parenthesis by each number inside of the parenthesis.

4(12 + 3)

4 x 12 = 48 and 4 x 3 = 12

(48 + 12)

Now, add both numbers inside the parenthesis.

(48 + 12 = 60) or 60.
