D because you have to distribute the twelve to complete the equation

Answer:

Option D is correct.

Distributive Property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

[tex]a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c[/tex]

Given the expression:

[tex]12(x+4)[/tex]

which represents the total cost of CDs Mei bought in April and May at $12 each.

[tex]12(x+4)[/tex]

Using distributive property, we have;

[tex]12 \cdot x + 12 \cdot 4[/tex]

Simplify:

12x + 48

Therefore, the property which is applied to write the equivalent expression 12x+ 48 is, distributive property
