Answer:
12 p - 8 p, 4p ( 3 - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
p = equal the number of ounces of pasta salad in one container
then 12 × p = 12 p in 12 containers
the students finished the pasta salad in 8 containers which equals = 8 p
the number of ounces of pasta left = 12 p - 8 p
b) using the distributive property for example a ( b + c) = ( a×b) + (a ×c)
12 p - 8 p = 4p ( 3 - 2)
I believe it is neither
For one if you plug in either of them the first one is going to be negative 3. But if you use the second one then your answer would be -3+12= -10 but -3+12 is 9 so I would go with neither because I don't see how it's both
