Question

Apply the distributive property and the greatest common factor to write an equivalent expression.

Answer 1

12(5x-2).................

Answer 2

Answer:

$12 \cdot (5x-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that:

$a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$

GCF(Greatest common factor) states that a largest number that divide two numbers.

Given the expression:

$60x-24$

GCF of 60x and 24 is, 12.

then;

Apply distributive property to the given expression we have;

$12 \cdot (5x-2)$

Therefore, an equivalent expression we get, $12 \cdot (5x-2)$
