Question

Apply the distributive property to simplify the expression 8(12x – 20)

Answer 1

`\boxed{\bf {96x-160}}`

Explanation:

`\sf 8(12x - 20)`

Apply the Distributive Property :-

`\boxed{\sf \:a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac}`

`\sf 8(12x - 20)`

`\sf 8* \:12x-8*\:20`

`\sf 8 * 12x=\bf 96x`

`\sf 8* 20=\bf 160`

`\bf 96x-160`

Answer 2

96x - 160

Explanation:

Given expression,

→ 8(12x - 20)

Let's simplify the expression,

→ 8(12x - 20)

→ (8 × 12x) - (8 × 20)

→ 96x - 160

Hence, answer is 96x - 160.
