Question

Simply each expression, use the distributive property to clear parentheses then combine like terms

6(x-2)+5x

Answer 1

alright so you would multiply 6 by the expressions inside the parentheses and that would make 6x-12+5x and then combine the line terms and you will get 11x-12

Answer 2

11x - 12

Explanation:

Distributive property, also called the distributive law of multiplication and division, lets us distribute a number by multiplying it to each of the numbers in a term separately.

We can expand this expression by clearing the parentheses and combining the like terms here by applying the distributive property:

6 (x-2) + 5x

6x - 12 + 5x ---> (6 is multiplied to both the terms, x and -2, separately)

Now we will combine like terms to get:

6x + 5x - 12

11x - 12
