Question

Use the distributive property to create an equivalent expression to 42 + 6x

Answer 1

Hey there!
The distributive property is defined as:
a(b+c) = ab+ac.
Since a is being multiplied by b and c, it's a common factor. In this situation, our common factor is 6, as it goes into 6x and 42. So, we have:
6(7 + x)
Hope this helps!
