Can someone help me with this question? I'll give brainliest answer to whoever helps me.

Answer 1

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:

$-3 (-x + 12)$

So:

We apply distributive property, which by definition establishes:

$a (b + c) = ab + ac$

On the other hand:

$- * - = +\\- * + = -$

$-3 (-x + 12) = 3x-3 * 12 = 3x-36$

Thus, an expression equivalent to $-3 (-x + 12)\ is\ 3x-36$

Answer:

$3x-36$

Option D

Answer 2

Answer:

D. 3x-36

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 (-x + 12)

= (-3 × -x) + (-3 × 12)

= 3x - 36

therefore the answer is D.
