Rewrite the expression $( z - 8 ) ( 12 )$ using the Distributive Property.
A) $12 z - 20$
B) $12 z - 96$
C) $z - 96$
D) $13 z + 20$
E) $z - 20$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the Distributive Property, we get:

\begin{align*}
(z-8)(12) &= z(12) - 8(12) \
&= 12z - 96
\end{align*}

Therefore, the best choice is B, which is equivalent to the given expression after applying the Distributive Property.

Rewrite the Expression (z−8)(12)( z - 8 ) ( 12 )(z−8)(12)
