Amistre just wait.
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the distributive property tells us we can multiply all the inner numbers in the paranthesis by the multiplier on the outside
OpenStudy (amistre64):
just wait for what?

the 14r is good
OpenStudy (amistre64):
i think you typoed theeend; did you mean -3? or something else
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
These r my choices :
4r - 30
4r + 30
14r - 30
12r - 30
OpenStudy (amistre64):
then you most likely meant the -30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what do you get 6*(-5)??

See what distributive property says:
\[\huge a(b+c) = a \times b + a \times c\]
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
but how come i got 12r - 30??
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
ohhhh i get it now
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
thanks :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes you got right..
But there is 2r in the right also..
So. it became 12r + 2r = 14r.
Welcome dear..
