-$- 8 x y ( 12 x - 2 y )$
A) $96 x ^ { 2 } y + 16 x y ^ { 2 }$
B) $- 96 x ^ { 2 } y - 16 x y ^ { 2 }$
C) $- 96 x ^ { 2 } y + 16 x y ^ { 2 }$
D) $96 x ^ { 2 } y - 16 x y ^ { 2 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve $- 8 x y ( 12 x - 2 y )$, distribute $-8xy$ across the terms inside the parentheses: $-8xy * 12x = -96x^2y$ and $-8xy * -2y = +16xy^2$, resulting in $-96x^2y + 16xy^2$.

Perform the Indicated Operation −8xy(12x−2y)- 8 x y ( 12 x - 2 y )−8xy(12x−2y)
