Question

Simplify Using Distributive Property
-6(2a + 8)

Answer 1

-12a - 48

Explanation:

you do -6 times 2a which is -12a then you do -6 times 8 which gives you -48 so you put -12a - 48

since the 48 is a negative we would just put a minus sign instead a plus. If it was a positive 48 we would put a plus sign buts its not so we put a negative.

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\mathcal{HELLO!}}`

The distributive property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac (we multiply a by everything inside the parentheses)

-6(2a+8)

-12a-48

`\huge\boxed{Answer:-12a-48}`
