[tex]\huge\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Solving for:}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{4 + 12}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Convert it to an easier way to}\\\huge\textbf{understand or keep it as it is:}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 12 + 4}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{The answer:}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 16}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textbf{Now, let's see which one of your choices}\\\huge\textbf{are equivalent to your original equation.}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textsf{Option A.}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{6(8 + 6)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 6(8) + 6(6)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 48 + 36}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 84}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{OR}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{6(8 + 6)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 6(14)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 84}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{84 }\boxed{\neq}\large\textbf{ 16}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textsf{Option B.}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{12(4 + 1)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 12(4) + 12(1)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 48 + 12}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 60}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{OR}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{12(4 + 1)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 12(5)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 60}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{60 }\boxed{\neq}\large\textbf{ 16}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textsf{Option C.}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{4(44 + 3)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 4(44) + 4(3)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 176 + 12}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 188}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{OR}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{4(44 + 3)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 4(47)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 188}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{188 }\boxed{\neq}\large\textbf{ 16}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\textsf{Option D.}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{8(6 + 4)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 8(6) + 8(4)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 48 + 32}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 80}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textsf{OR}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{8(6 + 4)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 8(10)}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{= 80}[/tex]
[tex]\large\textbf{80 }\boxed{\neq}\large\textbf{ 16}[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{Therefore, your answer: \boxed{\textsf{None of the above}}}\huge\checkmark[/tex]
[tex]\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}[/tex]
