A. 8(-12x+15)

B. -12(8x-10)

C. -8(12x+15)

Answer 1

It should be B if not then it wasn’t B lol

Answer 2

A and B are equivalent to -96x + 120

Explanation:

-96x + 120

A. 8 (-12x + 15)

8 * -12x = -96x

8 * 15 = 120

8 (-12x + 15) = -96x + 120

-96x + 120 = -96x + 120

Equivalent

B. -12 (8x - 10)

-12 * 8x = -96x

-12 * -10 = 120

-12 (8x - 10) = -96x + 120

-96x + 120 = -96x + 120

Equivalent

C. -8 (12x + 15)

-8 * 12x = -96x

-8 * 15 = -120

-8 (12x + 15) = -96x-120

-96x + 120 ≠ -96x - 120

Not Equivalent
