To apply the Distributive Property to the left side of the equation \(-12(12p−42)\), we need to multiply \(-12\) by both terms inside the parentheses:
1. Multiply \(-12\) by \(12p\):
\(-12 \cdot 12p = -144p\)
2. Multiply \(-12\) by \(-42\):
\(-12 \cdot -42 = 504\)
Now, combining these results gives us:
\(-12(12p−42) = -144p + 504\)
So the left side of the equation after applying the Distributive Property is \(-144p + 504\).
None of the provided options directly match this result, and it seems like the answer choices may not be relevant to this expression. If you're looking for simplifications or potential forms, it doesn't seem to match any listed responses of \(-6p + 21\), \(-6p - 21\), \(6p - 21\), or \(6p + 21\).
Please check if the options you've provided are correct or if there’s a mistake somewhere.
