Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses (x+12)8

Answer 1

Using distributive property to remove the parentheses
`(x+12)8` we get
`8x+96`

Explanation:

We need to use distributive property to remove the parentheses (x+12)8

According to distributive property of multiplication over addition:

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

Now, using the above distributive property to solve the given question. Multiply 8 with terms inside the bracket and solving:

`(x+12)8\\=8x+8*12\\=8x+96`

So, using distributive property to remove the parentheses
`(x+12)8` we get
`8x+96`
