Hey there!

The Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

where

a, b, and c can be either constants or variables.

Now that we know what the property states, let's simplify:

3(9k-1)

multiply:

3 times 9k and 3 times -1

27k-3

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello.

Use the Distributive Property which states

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Simplify:


\hookrightarrow
\mathrm{3(9k-1)}


\hookrightarrow
\mathrm{27k-3}

Be sure to multiply 3 by both terms inside the parentheses.

I hope it helps.

Have an awesome day.
