Which of the following statements could be a correct step in solving this equation: 12x−7=13(x−12)

A. 12x−7=13x−12

B. 3x−42=2(x−12)

C. 3x−7=2(x−12)

D. 3x−7=2x−12

A

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the answer is A because you have to use 13 to multiply what's in the bracket in order to collect like terms but 13 *12 won't give you 12. That's the reason why am confused

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
