C because it's using the distributive property. It's breaking it down into sections.
26 x 72 = 1872
40 + 420 + 12 = 472
1872 - 472 = 1400 (the answer)
In order to factor this, we will need to take something out to get it to factor. Lets take out a greatest common factor, in this case our greatest common factor will be 3.
We will then write it as:
-3(5t+2)
Saturn is about 10 times as far as earth from the sun
The answer is -12
these are the steps on how to find that
-2x2y
-2(-3)2(y)
6 times -2
-12
