Question

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.

Answer 1

$\huge\mathbb{ \underline{SOLUTION :}}$

Given:

• $\bold{-6(2^2+3)-2(1^2-2)}$

The $\mathrm{distributive \: property}$ states that an expression that is given in the form of $\small\sf{ A(B + C)}$ can be solved as $\small\sf{A \times (B + C) = AB + AC}$ . So:

$\small\longrightarrow\sf{-24-18-2+4}$

$\small\longrightarrow\sf{-42+2}$

▪ $\large\tt{All \: \: options \: \: are \: \: wrong}$

$\huge \mathbb{ \underline{ANSWER:}}$

$\small\longrightarrow\sf{−6 (2^2+3) − 2 (1^2 - 2) = \underline{-6(4+3)}}$
