Question

Apply the distributive property to simplify the expression. −3(6x + 2)

Answer 1

$\text{Hey there!}$

$\text{Distributive property}\rightarrow\text{a(b + c) = a}\times\text{b + a}\times \text{c = ab + ac}$

$\text{Now that we know what the distributive property SHOULD look like,}$ $\text{we can solve for your answer}$

$\text{-3(6x + 2)}\\\text{-3(6x) = -18x}\\\text{-3(2) = -6}$

$\text{ + \& - = -. so the plus sign (+) becomes a negative sign/ subtraction symbol (-)}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer:\ -18 \ - \ 6}}}\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
