Question

How do you use the distributive property to rewrite and simplify `-3(2x-6)`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The distributive property means basically to distribute the term outside the parenthesis across all the terms within the parenthesis:

`color(red)(-3)(2x - 6) => (color(red)(-3) xx 2x) - (color(red)(-3) xx 6) => -6x - (-18) =>`

`-6x + 18`
