Question

Use the distributive property to expand (simplify) 12(a-5)​

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\boxed{12a-60}}`

Explanation:

Hello.

The Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Where

a, b, and c can be either constants or variables

we distribute a by multiplying it times b and c, and simplify if necessary.

In this case, we should distribute 12:

12(a-5)

12 times a and 12 times (-5):

12a-60

And we're done!

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day!
