Answer:

[tex]12 \cdot (5x-2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that:

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

GCF(Greatest common factor) states that a largest number that divide two numbers.

Given the expression:

[tex]60x-24[/tex]

GCF of 60x and 24 is, 12.

then;

Apply distributive property to the given expression we have;

[tex]12 \cdot (5x-2)[/tex]

Therefore, an equivalent expression we get, [tex]12 \cdot (5x-2)[/tex]
