The distributive property says that we can multiply a sum by multiplying each addend individually and then plus the results.

i.e.
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`, where a , b and c are any arbitrary numbers.

The given expression :
`3(x-9)`

By using distributive property , it can be written as:

`3(x)-3(9)`

Hence, The expression 3(x-9) is equivalent to 3(x)-3(9).

Answer 2

3(x-9)
