Question

Which procedure justifies whether Negative 3 x (5 minus 4) + 3 (x minus 6) is equivalent to Negative 12 x minus 6?
The expressions are not equivalent because Negative 3 (2) (5 minus 4) + 3 (2 minus 6) = negative 18 and Negative 12 (2) minus 6 = negative 30.
The expressions are not equivalent because Negative 3 (2) (5 minus 4) + 3 (2 minus 6) = negative 18 and Negative 12 (3) minus 6 = negative 42.
The expressions are equivalent because Negative 3 (2) (5 minus 4) + 3 (2 minus 6) = negative 18 and Negative 12 (negative 2) minus 6 = 18.
