Elisabeth Stokes · Answer 1

12 (5x-2) = 60x-24

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that when multiplying a term with a sum multiply into each term within the sum. Here you have a sum. You'll reverse the distributive property by factoring our a term which could multiply into each. 60x and 24 both have 12 as a factor. This makes the expression 12 (5x-2) = 60x-24.
