Question

Which expressions are equivalent to − 1 3(12−3+6x)​?

Answer 1

We can simplify the expression as follows:

- First, we can simplify inside the parenthesis: 12 - 3 + 6x = 9 + 6x.

- Next, we can substitute this simplified expression back into the original expression:

-1/3(9 + 6x) = -3 - 2x, distributing the -1/3 through.

Therefore, -1/3(12-3+6x) is equivalent to -3-2x.
