Question

Apply the distributive property to simplify the expression.

−3(6x + 2)

Answer 1

-3(6x + 2) = -18x - 6

Answer 2

`\text{Hey there!}`

`\text{Distributive property}\rightarrow\text{a(b + c) = a}*\text{b + a}* \text{c = ab + ac}`

`\text{Now that we know what the distributive property SHOULD look like,}`
`\text{we can solve for your answer}`

`\text{-3(6x + 2)}\\\text{-3(6x) = -18x}\\\text{-3(2) = -6}`

`\text{ + \& - = -. so the plus sign (+) becomes a negative sign/ subtraction symbol (-)}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer:\ -18 \ - \ 6}}}\checkmark`

`\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}`
