Question

Which expression is equivalent to

–12x – 1.50

–12x – 3.50

Answer 1

The answer is B) -12x+1.50

To figure this out, use the distributive property and multiply the number on the outside by the numbers inside the parentheses.

A negative times a positive is a negative so, -3 x 4x = -12x.

A negative times a negative equals a positive so, -3 x -0.50= 1.50.

Now combine the two terms together to get -12x+1.50.
