Question

Use the Distributive Property to determine which of the following statements is equivalent to 3(4 – 2).12 – 67 – 57 – 212 – 2

Answer 1

`12-6`

Step-by-step explanation

the distributive property states that multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together

`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Step 1

`3(4-2)`

use the distributive accordint to the rule

`\begin{gathered} 3(4-2) \\ 3(4-2)=3\cdot4-3\cdot2 \\ 3(4-2)=12-6 \end{gathered}`

therefore, the answer is

`12-6`
