Question

Simplify.12(3x + 5y)36 x + 60 y96 - 8 p36 x + 5 y96 xy

Answer 1

$36x+60y$

1) We can simplify this by applying the Distributive property, a.k.a FOIL.

$\begin{gathered} 12(3x+5y) \\ 12\cdot3x+12\cdot5y \\ 36x+60y \end{gathered}$

2) Thus, we can tell that when we expand this expression, we get a simpler one and this is:

$36x+60y$
