- 3/4 (24x-12)=blank + blank

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(\frac{3}{4}(24x - 12)\), we can distribute \(\frac{3}{4}\) into the parentheses:

\[ \frac{3}{4} \times 24x - \frac{3}{4} \times 12 \]

Calculating each term:

1. \(\frac{3}{4} \times 24x = 18x\)
2. \(\frac{3}{4} \times 12 = 9\)

Now we can write the full expression after distribution:

\[ 18x - 9 \]

Thus, in the expression \(\frac{3}{4}(24x - 12) = \text{blank} + \text{blank}\), we can fill in:

\[ 18x + (-9) \]

So, the answer is:

• First blank: \(18x\)
• Second blank: \(-9\)
