Answer 1

12x+30y

Explanation:

6*2x+6*5y

12x+30y

Answer 2

12x+30y

Explanation:

6(2x+5y)

The distributive property is used if a number is in the form

`a(b+c)`

To solve this problem, you need to multiply b and c by a.

`=ab+ac`

Now, let's plug in your numbers.

a = 6

b = 2x

c = 5y

`6(2x+5y)\\=(6)2x+(6)5y\\=12x+30y`
