Do you know how to distribute?

OpenStudy (winsteria):

Yeah, but that's just what I got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you put 15 after 12 in parentheses know what i mean

OpenStudy (winsteria):

okay but is it B?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i really got another answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this time also put the 15 in front of the variable

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

The main function is the subtraction sign. All you're doing is expanding the epression by MULTIPLYING 15 into both terms.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

What option is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it goes before 12 in () and before x

OpenStudy (anonymous):
