Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When doing distributive property, you have to multiply the outside number by all of the inside numbers

so 3(6 - 7a), you would have to do 3*6 and 3*-7a and then you would add those two values:

So in this case, you would do 18 + (-21a) which is just 18 - 21a.

Just to help you visualize distributive property better

3(6+8) = 3*6 + 3*8

4(20+5+3) = 4*20 + 4*5 + 4*3

10(15.5 - 24.4 + 23.21) = 10*15.5 + 10*(-24.4) + 10*23.21

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any questions
