12(5x-2).................

Answer:

\(12 \cdot (5x-2)\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that:

\(a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c\)

GCF(Greatest common factor) states that a largest number that divide two numbers.

Given the expression:

\(60x-24\)

GCF of 60x and 24 is, 12.

then;

Apply distributive property to the given expression we have;

\(12 \cdot (5x-2)\)

Therefore, an equivalent expression we get, \(12 \cdot (5x-2)\)
