Question

Expand and solve the following expression using the distributive property. 6 ( x − x + 2 − 1 − 2 + 1 )

Answer 1

0

Explanation:

Distribute 6 to each variable inside the parenthesis.

6 ( x − x + 2 − 1 − 2 + 1 )

= 6x - 6x + 12 - 6 - 12 + 6

Combine like terms.

6x - 6x + 12 - 6 - 12 + 6

= 12 - 6 - 12 + 6

= 6 - 12 + 6

= -6 + 6

= 0
