Answer:

Explanation:

-6(5 - k) and 6k - 30

-6(5 - k) Use the Distributive Property.

-6*5 -6*-k

-30 + 6k This can be written differently.

6k - 30 So, both expressions are equivalent.

Distributive Property means to spread the multiplication through the addition.

Equivalent mean the same value, same amount.
