Use the distributive property to simplify the expression below: −3(2d − 1) + 4d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-6d +3 + 4d so combining like terms -2d + 3

distributive property just means multiply. When you have a number outside of () and numbers inside of () you need to multiply the number outside of () to each number inside of ()

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are "distributing" the number outside to each of the numbers inside.
