Hey there!
Finding out what is equivalent to 24a - 12b
Option A.
6(4a - 3b)
= 6(4a) + 6(-3b)
= 24a - 18b
OPTION A. isn’t your answer because that gives you “24a - 18b”
Option B.
8(3b - 2b)
= 8(3b) + 8(-2b)
= 24b - 16b
OPTION B. isn’t your answer because that gives you “24a - 16b”
Option C.
12(2a - b)
= 12(2a) + 12(-b)
= 12(2a) + 12(-1b)
= 24a - 12b
OPTION C. could possibly be your answer
Therefore, your answer should be:
“OPTION B. 12(2a - b)”
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
