Solving implies you are talking about an equation. Equations must have equal marks in them somewhere. If you mean y + 12 = -8
then subtract 8 from both sides of the equation ( or if your teacher is really strict you will be told to add -12 to both sides of the equation, but the same thing happens)
y + 12 - 12 = -8 - 12, then on the left and right simplify to
y = -20
This is called the subtraction property of equality (if you subtract 12) or the addition property of equality (if you add -12)

What property is required to solve x plus twelve equals twenty four?
Subtraction property if x+12=24 the subtraction property lets us minus 12 from both sides to get x+12-12=24-12 the twelves on both sides cancel each other out by the way, to get x=12, your answer
Use 3x equals 12 solve the equation?
12/3 = 4
How does the distributive property help solve an equality?
The distributive property breaks down the equation to make it more simple to do. It is often used for mental math. An example is (12x56). (10x50=500)+(2x6=12) then, (500+12=512).
How do you use the distributive property to solve a problem?
You multiply the outside number touching the parenthesis by the numbers inside. Ex: 6(x - 5) = 42 6x - 30 = 42 6x = 72 x = 12
How do you solve distributive property problems?
You can solve distributive property problems, by doing this: Let's say your problem is 27+12. You start by doing this: What factor goes into 27? Wait... what Greatest Common Factor belongs to 27? It's 9. So, what you do is this: 3(9+?) 3*? equals 12? 3*4= 12. So it's 4. So, 3(9+4) 9+4= 13 3*13= 39 27 +12 equals 39

Explain how to use the distributive property to find 20x12?
The distributive property is not used for simplified multiplication. See http://www.algebrahelp.com/lessons/simplifying/distribution for information about how to use the distributive property to simplify other equations. 20 x 12 is already simplified, so the proper way to solve it is 12 x20 ----- 240 You could potentially factor and use the commutative property to find a simpler equation, ex. 20x12 -- break 20 into 10 and 2 10x2x12 -- multiply 2 by 12 10x24 -- multiply by 10 240

Whats property is used to solve the equation x plus 5 12?
Without an equality sign it is not an equation

How do use the distributive property for the gcf of 12 and 72?
It's not necessary. Since 12 is a factor of 72, it is automatically the GCF.
How do you use distributive property to express 24 36?
(2 x 12) + (3 x 12) = 5 x 12
What is the destributive property?
The distributive property is a property that connects multiplication and addition. In symbols: a x (b + c) = (a x b) + (a + c). We use this property on a daily basis, when we do a multiplication with pencil and paper, with numbers of more than one digit. For example, 2 x 12 = 2 x (10 + 2) = (2 x 10) + (2 x 2). It is also very useful in that it helps solve different algebraic problems.
How can 12 x 56 be written using the distributive property?
12*56 Use the distributive property on 12: (10+2)*56 = 10*56 + 2*56 Use the distributive property on 56 twice: 10*(50+6) + 2*(50+6) = 10*50 + 10*6 + 2*50 + 2*6 = 500 + 60 + 100 + 12 = 672
