The answer is 60c - 36

You multiply 12 x 5c, and 12 x 3

You cannot solve it as it does not equal anything, but you can simplify it by applying the distributive property. Simply take the coefficient of the parentheses and multiply it against all the terms inside:

12(5c - 3)
5c*12 - 3*12

Answer: 60c - 36

you can't solve cause it doesn't equal anything but you can simplify,

12(5c-3). so distribute the 12.
60c - 36
