Question

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

2(x − 3) <--> 2x − 6

Answer 1

both are equal...

Answer 2

the left hand side uses the distributive power over multiplication

2(x - 3) = 2*x - 2*3 = 2x -3

so the left hand side equals the right hand side.
