Question

Rewrite 5(12-5) using the distributive law

Answer 1

you want to distribute the "5" outside of the parentheses inside to each term

5(12 - 5)

=5(12) - 5(5)

=60 - 25

Answer 2

Distributive property just means you take the number out front and multiply it by each number in the parenthesis

5(12-5)

5 x 12 = 60

5 x 5 = 25

So using distributive property this same expression would be 60 - 25

Answer 3

The distributive property of multiplication over subtraction states that the product of a number and the difference of two other numbers is equal to the difference of the products:

a(b-c) = ab - ac

Re-write: 5(12-5)

5*12 - 5*5
