Question

Which algebraic expression is equivalent to this expression?

6(3x-1)+9x

Answer 1

27x-6

Explanation:

To distribute 6(3x-1) properly, 6 needs to be multiplied with 3x and -1.

6*(-1)=-6,

3x*6=18x.

Without simplifying, the answer we get from this is 18x+9x-6. 18x+9x=27x, so the algebraic expression equivalent to 6(3x-1)+9x is 27x-6.
