Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is an example of the distributive property. -3 multiplies both the 4x and the -12. The minus sign between them is NOT destroyed.

-3 * 4x = -12x

-3 * -12 = 36

Answer: - 12x + 36

Answer:

-12(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are only trying to simplify, you can factor out a 4 from (4x - 12).

4(x-3)

now multiply the 4 and -3

-12(x-3)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's at the same time of the day, the ratio between the height of the person and the shadow they cast will stay the same. So the man's height to shadow ratio is 6:8 = 3:4. The son's height to shadow ratio would be the same so x:4 = 3:4 therefore his height is 3 feet.
