Answer:
Answer 1
Explanation:
We can use the communitive property of addition to help us in the problem. 16x-12-24x+4 can be either rearranged or solved. If we were to try to solve it, then it would be 16x-24x-12+4=-8x-8. Now we look at our options. Option 1 says that 4+16x-12(1+2x). Using the distributive property, we conclude 4+16x-12+24x. This is basically rearranging the original question so answer 1 is the correct one.
