Use the distributive property to simplify the expression below:
5t − 6(1 + t)

 −t − 6

 −t + 6

 t + 6

 6t − 6

by me saying 1t+5000
that means 1t+5000=0

i gtg atm but im tbh u cant just assume it always = 0 and i can show exp later

.. android still did #1 wrong.... heres how u do it 
$$5t - 6(1+t) = 5t -6 - 6t = -t -6$$
the negative has to be used.... i hope msmeloidy reads this so she isnt taught wrong

hartnn · Answer

@andriod09 since there is no = sign, you cannot solve for x, 
you can only simplify here as correctly done by @Goten77
