Answer:
27 + 9x
could also be
9x + 27 (I like this better)
Explanation:
Distributive Property is a multiplying thing. The 9 on the outside of the parenthesis is being multiplied times the whole parenthesis. So 9 times the 3 AND ALSO 9 times the x.
9(3 + x)
= 9•3 + 9•x
= 27 + 9x this is exactly, just using Distributive Property
27 + 9x
