Explanation:

Simplify the expression by using the Distributive Property.

For this expression, we'll be distributing. In simpler terms, multiplying 3 into the values inside the parentheses.

Think of the expression as;


3(3a-6)=(3 *3a)+(3 * -6)

Multiply;


3 * 3a=9a (Multiply the whole number.)


3 * -6=-18

Your simplified expression is
9a-18.
