Question

Use the distributive property to simplify:
−6(2u − 1)

Answer 1

\[\huge -6 \times 2u + (-6) \times (-1) = -12u + 6\]

Answer 2

what?

Answer 3

Remember this:

\(\large a(b+c) = a*b + b*c\)
did you understand this?

Answer 4

kinda

Answer 5

Ok so same way

−6(2u − 1) = ?

Answer 6

\[\huge -a(b-c) = -ab + ac\]

Answer 7

oh so -12-6?

Answer 8

Where is the u?

Answer 9

ooh -12u-6...

Answer 10

Nope
-6(2u-1) = -6*2u -1*-6
= 12u + 6

Its +6 because :
when negative is multiplied by negative we get a positive number

For example:
-3 * -2 =6
-4 * -5 = 20

is this clear?

Answer 11

yep thanks
