Question

Apply the distributive property to simplify the expression


8(12x – 20)

Answer 1

I believe the answer must be 96x-160

Because we have to multiply 8x12 which is 96. and there is x next to it. so keep the x as it is.

and next to it is minus ( - ) sign so keep it as it is.

now we have to multiply 8x20 which is 160.

so if we write it together it will be:

so if we write it together it will be:96x - 160.

Thank you
