Which expression correctly represents the product 12(8 5) after applying the distributive property?
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:
\(5\times 8 =5\times (2+6) = (5\times 2) + (5\times 6) = 10 + 30 = 40\)
The given problem can be solved as:
\(12\times (8+5)\\=(12\times 8) + (12\times 5) \\= 96 + 60\\=156\)
