Question

Which equation shows the CORRECT use of the Distributive Property

given 4(2x-12) = -15? *
O 6x - 48 = -15
O 8x – 48 = -15
8x – 12 = -15
6x - 12 = -15

Answer 1

Number 2

Explanation:

4*2x=8x

4*-12=-48

so

8x-48=-15

Answer 2

Hey there!

4(2x - 12) = -15

DISTRIBUTE 4 to BOTH SIDES

4(2x) + 4(-12) = -15

NEW EQUATION: 8x - 48 = -15

Your answer is: 8x - 48 = -15

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
