Answer:


\huge\boxed{\boxed{72-12k}}

Explanation:

Hello.

The Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

where

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

Now that we know what the property states, let's simplify this expression.

12(6-k)

72-12k

And we're done, because 72 and -12k are not like terms (even though they look like like terms)

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day!
