Question

Simplify. 8m+4n+7m−2n What is the answerWhich expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to 3(2x−6) ?

Answer 1

1. 15+2n
2. 6(x-3)

Explanation:

1. 8m+4n+7n-2n
2. 8m+7n+4n-2n
3. 15n+2n

1. 3(2x-6)
2. 3 multipied by 2x and 6= 6x-18
3. The GCF(greatest common factor)is 6
4. 6x divided by 6 is x and 18 divided by 6 is 3

so the GCF goes outside the parenthesis and the numbers you got after you divided goes inside. 6(x-3)

Hope this helps!
