Answer:

Answer below!

Explanation:

Alright I'm not too sure on what the question is asking for per your instructions, but I've written out my best explanation on how to use distributive property to solve this equation.

So first, what is the process of distributive property? It basically states whatever is in the parenthesis is multiplied by the outside number.

In simpler terms, each character in the parenthesis is multiplied by the number standing outside of the parenthesis.

So we can go...

(3 x 4x) - (3 x 5) = (12x) - (15)

And there's your answer, 12x - 15! Unless you know what x means, you'll probably just stop there.

Hope this was helpful!

the answer 12x-15
bc you multiply 4 and 3 to get 12x and then you multiply 5 and 3 to get 15
