4. The Distributive Property
Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 20 Page 225

Recall the Distributive Property.

72-12k

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. To do it, we will use the Distributive Property. We will distribute 12 to the terms inside the parentheses.
12(6-k)
12(6)-12k
72-12k
Since 72 and 12k are not like terms, the expression cannot be simplified further.
