Hey there! I'm happy to help!

The correct answer is 6(3m-2). This is because if you use the distributive property (multiplying outside number by each term in the parentheses) you end up with 18m-12

6(3m)=18m

6(-2)=-12

18m-12

The other answer options don't yield this result.

Have a wonderful day! :D
