You need two terms that multiply to (12x-4). The term on the outside needs to be a common multiple of 12 and 4. The common factors are 1, 2, and 4. Here are the following possible dimensions:
1(12x-4)
2(6x-2)
4(3x-1)
Hope this helps.

Use distribute property and simplify<br> Help me please

stellarik [79]

Answer:

104

155

180

Step-by-step explanation:

an easy way is to solve what is in the parenthesis then multiply by the outside number

but if you need to use the distributive property:

1. 4 x (20 - -6)

(4 x 20) - (4 x -6) = 80 - -24 = 80 + 24 = 104

2. -5 x (24 - -7)

(-5 x 24) - (-5 x -7) = -120 - 35 = 155

3. 12 x (-30 + 45)

(12 x -30) + (12 x 45) = -360 + 540 = 180
