Question

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression.
9(6t−2v+9)

Answer 1

54t - 18c + 81

Explanation:

We need to distribute the 9 to each term in the parentheses.

9 × (6t - 2v + 9)

Can be rewritten as...

9 × 6t - 9 × 2c + 9 × 9

See how the 9 is multiplied by every term in the parentheses. This is distribution.

54t - 18c + 81 ⇒ equivalent expression (after computing the multiplication)
