Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The expression is: $\left(9-6\right)12=9\times 12-6\times 12$.

Step 1. Given information.

The given expression is:

 

$\left(9-6\right)12$

Step 2. Write the Property.

The Distributive property is defined as in below:

$\left(b\pm c\right)a=ba\pm ca$

Where a, b and c are real numbers.

Step 3. Rewrite the expression.

The expression $\left(9-6\right)12$ can be written as in below:

$\left(9-6\right)12=9\times 12-6\times 12$
