\huge\mathbb{ \underline{SOLUTION :}}

Given:


  • \bold{-6(2^2+3)-2(1^2-2)}


\\

The
\mathrm{distributive \: property} states that an expression that is given in the form of
\small\sf{ A(B + C)} can be solved as
\small\sf{A * (B + C) = AB + AC} . So:


\small\longrightarrow\sf{-24-18-2+4}


\small\longrightarrow\sf{-42+2}


\large\tt{All \: \: options \: \: are \: \: wrong}


\\


\huge \mathbb{ \underline{ANSWER:}}


\small\longrightarrow\sf{−6 (2^2+3) − 2 (1^2 - 2) = \underline{-6(4+3)}}
