Question

Can someone just help explain one of the problems and I’ll try the rest? Thank you!

Answer 1

Okay so basically to answer these, you need to distribute ! Let’s do the first one !

So we have 6(s-9)

Since the 6 is outside the parenthesis, you need to “distribute” it, meaning you’re going to multiply 6 by everything that is in the parenthesis.

So 6 times s is 6s (: and 6 times -9 is -54

So your final answer will be 6s-54


For the second problem, it’s the same thing. Multiply the 12 with everything else.

So 12 times 6 is 72 and 12 times -k is -12k

So your answer for the second one is going to be 72-12k (:

Let me know if you need help with the rest !
