Question

Can the distributive property be used to rewrite 3x(8-4)? PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Yes you can, and if you did your answer would be 0

Explanation:

Simplifying

3x(8 + -4) = 0

Combine like terms: 8 + -4 = 4

3x(4) = 0

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

3 * 4x = 0

Multiply 3 * 4

12x = 0

Solving

12x = 0

x=0
