Answer:

a+4=11b

Explanation:

Distributive property in mathematics means to multiply the sum by a number of two or more add-ons will provide the same result that each add-on multiplies by a single number and then together add the products.

for example a( b+c) = ab+ac

Therefore, applying distributive property in asked eapression

12(2a - 6b+ 8) = 21(2a−6b+8)

24a+72b+96 = 42a-126b+168

198b=18a+72

9a +36=99b

3a+12=33b

a+4=11b
