Simplify the product using the distributive property. (3h - 7)(3h - 6) A. 9h2 + 3h - 42 B. 9h2 - 3h - 42 C. 9h2 - 39h + 42 D. 9h2 + 39h + 42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(3h - 7)(3h - 6) = 3h(3h - 6) - 7(3h - 6) = ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 9h2 + 3h - 42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am undecided to whether that is correct or not i am somewhat doubting it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite. You are almost correct. THat 42 should be positive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then that would make it D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i did a step backwards

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look: \[3h(3h - 6) - 7(3h - 6) \implies 9h^2 - 18h - 21h + 42 \implies 9h^2 - 39h + 42\]See?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhh haaaa i feel like such a dits at times thanks for your help i truly appreciate it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C. 9h2 - 39h + 42 I got this correct on my test.
