Question

Which expression results from using the Distributive Property to rewrite -9.1 (−4) − 9.1 (12)?

A. 9.1(−4 + 12)

B. −9.1(−4 + 12)

C. 9.1(−4 − 12)

D. −9.1(4 − 12)

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, distributive property is defined as:

`a (b + c) = ab + ac`

We have the following expression:

`-9.1 (-4) -9.1 (12)`

Taking common factor -9.1 we have:

`-9.1 (-4 + 12)`

Thus, the correct option is option B.

Answer:

Option B

`-9.1 (-4 + 12)`
