Question

Prove, in complete sentences, whether the left expression is equal to the right expression and discuss which property applies.

6(x − 2) double arrow 6x − 12

Answer 1

Hint:

Distributive property.
a(b + c) = ab + ac

Answer 2

Yes it is the same. When you multiply 6 and x you will get 6x when you multiply 6 x (-2) you get -12 so 6x - 12 is correct :)
