1. Given (12+3)x, we can sum the numbers in the parenthesis to get 15x
2. Given 12x+3x, we can factor x to get (12+3)x and get the same as 1.
3. Given (12+3x)x, we have to distribute the x and we have 
4. This expression is already simplified.
Hello!
The distributive property states, a(b + c) = ab + ac. Normally, we would simplify the values inside the parentheses first, and then multiply, but since these two values are not alike terms, we would need to use the distributive property.
-1/6(6y + 7) is also equal to -1/6(6y) + -1/6(7), so with that, we can simplify the expression.
-1/6(6y) + -1/6(7) can be simplified to -y + -7/6.
Therefore, using the distributive property, the answer is -y - 7/6.
It’s rational because if you multiply 12 it will give you 144 and you can simply it to 12 it’s it rational
