To determine

To calculate: by using distributive property write an equivalent variable expression for $-6\left(-m+12\right)$ .

Answer to Problem 4PSQ

equivalent variable expression for $-6\left(-m+12\right)$ is $6m-72$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information :consider, the expression provided in the question,

  $-6\left(-m+12\right)$ .

Formula used: distributive property - $a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Calculation : by using distributive property −

  $-6\left(-m+12\right)=6m-72$

Hence,

Thus, equivalent variable expression for $-6\left(-m+12\right)$ is $6m-72$ .
