Hello there!

The answer is Distributive Property. (C)

---------------------------------------------------

-4(x +3) = -4x - 12
Distribute
(-4)(x)+(-4)(3) = -4x - 12
-4x - 12 = -4x - 12
Combine the like terms
-4x + 4x = -12 + 12
0 = 0
All real number are solutions.

I hope that helps!

C is the correct answer. The distributive property can be expressed as a(b + c) = ab + ac. This is exhibited here: -4(x + 3) = -4x - 12. -4 * x = -4x and -4 x 3 = 12.
