Verified Answer :

u don't use the distributive property here
order of operations says do operations in parentheses FIRST
12(8 +5) = 12(13) = 156
12(8 +5) = 12(8) +12(5) = 96 +60 = 156

Answer:

Distributive Propety

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Distributive Property:

  • It helps us to perform complicated maths problem easily.
  • The distributive property allows us to multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then adding the products separately.
  • \(a\times (b+c) = (a\times b) + (a\times c)\)
  • Example:

\(5\times 8 =5\times (2+6) = (5\times 2) + (5\times 6) = 10 + 30 = 40\)

The given problem can be solved as:

\(12\times (8+5)\\=(12\times 8) + (12\times 5) \\= 96 + 60\\=156\)
