Answer 1

2. So for this question, you do the distributive property, which is multiplying the term outside of the parenthesis by the terms in the parenthesis. In this case, the outside term is 1/2. 8x * 1/2 = 4x and 1/2 * -16 is -8. That brings us to 4x - 8, which is our answer. Therefore, the correct answer choice is B.

3. Okay. In this problem, we are talking about the sum of 12 and a number. That's 12 + n, because sum means the answer to the addition problem D is out, because we don't do distributive property in this case. The sum of 12 + n is 4n. The expression is 12 + n = 4n. The answer is B.
