Use the distributive property to simplify the expression below: 8(x+12)

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

you get 8x+96

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the vaule of x=12?

OpenStudy (softballgirl372015):

x does not have a value since you are simplifying the expression. If it was an equation, the x would have a value. But since it it an expression, there is not a value for x.
