Pablo is simplifying the expression below.
Negative one-fourth (8 x + 12) minus (negative 2 x + 5)
He used the steps below to simplify the expression.
Negative one-fourth (8 x + 12) minus (negative 2 x + 5) = negative 2 x minus 3 + 2 x minus 5 = negative 8
Which statement is true about the steps that Pablo used to simplify the expression?
A He combined like terms inside the parentheses, distributed Negative one-fourth over (8 x + 12), and then combined the remaining like terms.
B He combined like terms inside the parentheses, distributed Negative one-fourth over (Negative 2 x + 5), and then combined the remaining like terms.
C He distributed Negative one-fourth over (8 x + 12), distributed 1 over (Negative 2 x + 5), and then combined like terms.
D He distributed Negative one-fourth over (8 x + 12), distributed –1 over (Negative 2 x + 5), and then combined like terms.
