Question

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to 3(2x−6)3(2x−6) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct.

$6x - 18$ is the expression that shows the result of applying the distributive property to  $3(2x-6)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: $3(2x-6)$                  ......[1]

The distributive property says that:

$a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c$

Apply distributive property on [1] we have;

$3 \cdot (2x) - 3 \cdot (6)$

Simplify:

$6x - 18$

Therefore, the expression that shows the result of applying the distributive property to  $3(2x-6)$  is, $6x - 18$

Answer 2

If you are distributing 3(2x-6) then you would do it this way: 
(3 x 2x)(3 x (-6)) 
(6x) (-18)
6x-18 (you can simplify this by dividing by 6)
x-6 would be your answer but I don't see it as one of the options. Are all of these options typed out correctly?
