evaluate the expression using distributive property

Question

6 (12+4)

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression using the distributive property, we will distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses:

6 * 12 + 6 * 4

This simplifies to:

72 + 24

Now we can add:

72 + 24 = 96

Therefore, the expression 6(12+4) evaluates to 96.
