Question

Apply the distributive property and the greatest common factor to write an equivalent expression. 60x - 24 = 12( ? )

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

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

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.
