Use the distributive property a(b±c) = ab ± ac:
4(10+5) = 4·10 + 4·5
6(12-2) = 6·12 - 6·2
So the equation becomes
4·10 + 4·5 = 6·12 - 6·2,
which simplifies to 40 + 20 = 72 - 12, and 60 = 60.
4(10+5) = 4·10 + 4·5
6(12-2) = 6·12 - 6·2
So the equation becomes
4·10 + 4·5 = 6·12 - 6·2,
which simplifies to 40 + 20 = 72 - 12, and 60 = 60.
