Question

What is 6 ( 8 + w). Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Answer 1

Using the distributive property you would multiply the number outside of the parentheses by everything inside the parentheses. So 6 x 8 and 6 x w.

6 x 8= 48 6 x w=6w

Final answer: 48 + 6w

Answer 2

42 + 6w

Explanation:

Basically,

6(8+w) is 6 x (8+w)

OR 6(8) + 6(w)

Hence 42 + 6w
