Question

Which is an equivalent expression for 6(x)-6(2)

2(x-6)
6(x-2)
12(x-1)
36(x-2)

Answer 1

6(x)-6(2)
= 6(x-2) (distributive property)

The final answer is 6(x-2)~

Answer 2

6 x x = 6x
-6 x 2 = -12
6x - 12
Factorise it
What's common in both? 6
6x/6 = x
-12/6 = -2
Therefore 6(x-2) is the same
