Question

The expression (x-6)2is equivalent to

Answer 1

(x - 6) * 2

I'm assuming this is the expression that you typed out, if it isn't, please let me know in the comments :)

Use the distributive property:

= 2(x) - 2(6)

Multiply and simplify

= 2x - 12

This should be the expression that is equivalent to the original. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
