12y - 0 can be rewritten using Distributive Property as 12y.
To rewrite the expression using the Distributive Property, we need to distribute the 12 to both terms inside the parentheses.
12(y - 0) = 12y - 12(0)
Since multiplying by 0 does not change the value, we can simplify the expression further.
12y - 12(0) = 12y - 0
Therefore, the rewritten expression using the Distributive Property is:
12y - 0 or simply 12y.
To rewrite the expression using the Distributive Property, you need to multiply each term inside the parentheses with the term outside the parentheses. The Distributive Property states that for any numbers a, b, and c, the expression a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac.
In this case, you have 12(y - 0). Since anything multiplied by 0 is 0, the expression simplifies to 12(y).
Therefore, the rewritten expression using the Distributive Property is 12y.
