Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: (12*7*6)(x)

Discussion:

The other choices are clearly incorrect.

(7)(12)(6) + x is NOT equal to (12)(7)(6x)

12(7+6x) is NOT equal to (12)(7)(6x)

12 + 7 + 6x is NOT equal to (12)(7)(6x)

So all of the above statements are incorrect and can not be justified by any property of real numbers
