The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that changing the order of factors does not change the product.

Thus, the factors in the given multiplication are:


\begin{gathered} 2*(6a-3) \\ Factor\text{ 1: 2} \\ \text{ Factor 2: \lparen6a-3\rparen} \end{gathered}

Thus, if we change the order we obtain:


2*(6a-3)=(6a-3)*2

The answer is the first option.
