Hey there!

-3(9 + 2z)

= -3(9) - 3(2z)

= -27 - 6z

= -6z - 27


Therefore, your answer is: -6z - 27


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:

-27 -6z

Explanation:

"Simplify" in this context means "eliminate parentheses." You do that by making use of the distributive property. The factor -3 outside the parentheses multiplies each term inside parentheses.

-3(9 +2z)

= -3(9) +(-3)(2z)

= -27 -6z
