How do I get rid of the parenthesis in a problem

Answer 1

Parentheses can be removed by multiplying the outside factor to each term inside the parentheses, which is called the distributive property.

Explanation:

Here is an example

6 ( 3 + w )

6 ( 3 ) + 6 ( w )

18 + 6 w

Answer 2

you solve what is inside the parenthesis first to get rid of it, then its almost like you got rid of it.
