Question

Which property would you use to simplify 3(y+6)

Answer 1

To simplify this expression you would need to use the Distributive Property of Multiplication.

First you would multiply 3 and y which gives you 3y.

Then you would multiply 3 and 6 which gives you 18.

Lastly you would add these two values leaving you with the expression:

3y + 18
