Think about it.

OpenStudy (serenity74):

Which ones can you eliminate at least?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, I think it is a, but I am not sure.

OpenStudy (serenity74):

Use the distributive property. Which two numbers do you multiply in order to get 6 and 12?

OpenStudy (serenity74):

6(a) = 6 you got that part but 6*12 doesn't give you 6. So, A is wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, D.

OpenStudy (serenity74):

I will give you an example. 3(x +8) (3*x) + (3*8) = 3x +24

OpenStudy (serenity74):

*rings bell* yes! Correct!!!

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hints: 1) try factoring 6a-12. 2) try multiplying out the possible answers.
