distrubutive property and rewrite each express without parentss

Question

 

6(2-t)=

 

Answer 1

Answer: 6(2-t)=12-6t

I suggest you review the following examples to get the feel of it.

3(4+2t)=12-6t

7(t-9)=7t-63

-2(t-3)=-2t+6=6-2t

-5(3-2t)=-15+10t=10t-15 etc

Answer 2

Hi Felisha. 

The parentheses here mean you multiply each term inside by the 6. 

6(2-t)

= 6 x 2 - 6 x t

The 6 shows up twice because ther are 2 terms inside the parentheses. Thoperation between the terms is subtraction. It doesn't change. Work through the problem according to the order of operations:

= 12 - 6t (answer)

Hope that helps,
