Question

How do you simplify `-3rt(-2t^2+3r)`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

To simplify using the distributive property, multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

`color(red)(-3rt)(-2t^2 + 3r) =>`

`(color(red)(-3rt) xx -2t^2) + (color(red)(-3rt) xx 3r) =>`

`6rt^3 + (-9r^2t) =>`

`6rt^3 - 9r^2t`
