Answer:

12 3/4 -9f

Explanation:

You want the simplified form of the expression 12-3/4(8f-5/3+4f+2/3).

Simplification

We can simplify inside parentheses first. This consists of combining like terms.

= 12 -3/4((8+4)f +(-5/3+2/3)) = 12 -3/4(12f -1)

Then the distributive property is applied, and like terms are combined (again).

= 12 -9f +3/4

= 12 3/4 -9f
