Question

What is the distributive property of -12(-w+4)

Answer 1

Distributive property:

Multiply all the inside terms by the outside term. So

-12(-w+4) = -12*(-w) -12*(4) = 12w - 48

The answer is 12w - 48

8(6f-1) = 8*6f + 8*(-1) = 48f - 8

-(5a+7) = -(5a) -(+7) = -5a - 7

14(x + y) = 14*x + 14*y = 14x + 14y

-5t(2u + 4) = -5t*2u - 5t*4 = -10ut - 20t
