Question

Please help i’m so confused! how would you simplify -2x(x-6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

-2x²+12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property:

       ↓

A(B+C)=AB+AC

A= -2x

B= x

C=6

-2xx-(-2x)*6

-2xx+2*6x

Simplify, to find the answer.

-2xx+2*6x

2*6=12

-2x²+12x is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

-2x² + 12x

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify, distribute the term outside the parenthesis (-2x) to all terms within the parenthesis. Remember to note the sign too:

-2x(x) = -2x²

-2x(-6) = +12x

-2x² + 12x is your answer.
