Answer 2

Hi, I don't know if you still need the answer, but here you go:

Answer:

They used distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

They multiplied -9/2 times "x" and then, times "+6".

First, you get -9/2x for the first term in the parenthesis.

Second, you multiply -9/2 times 6 in the form of a fraction.

* When multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across so:

-9/2 × 6/1 = -54/2

Leaving you with:

-9/2x-54/2

The -54/2 simplifies into -27, which gives you:

$-\frac{9}{2}x - 27$
