To answer this question, we need to remember the Associative Property of Multiplication:


a\cdot(b\cdot c)=(a\cdot b)\cdot c

If we have that:


6\cdot(2\cdot b)

Then


6\cdot(2\cdot b)=(6\cdot2)\cdot b=12\cdot b=12b

Therefore, we can say that:

First Part:


6(2b)=(6\cdot2)b

Second Part:


6(2b)=12b
