Answer:

48x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would distribute 6x to 5

6x(5)= 30x

Then, you would distribute 6x to 3

6x(3)= 18x

Then you add the two values (30x+18x)

and you should get 48x

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
30x+18x

Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property is multiplying whatever is in the parentheses by whatever is right next to the parentheses. It is called distributive property because you are “distributing” the 6x to all of the numbers inside of the parentheses.
6x*5 = 30x
6x*3 = 18x

If it asked you to simplify, you would add them together and put 48x. Since it is telling you just to rewrite the equation, leave it as such.

Hope this helped!
