Distributive property

Answer 3

yea but what about the fist part

Answer 4

You want to explain this property?

Answer 5

more of like how to do it to see if it equals the 2nd expression.

Answer 6

Left hand side=Right hand side because
6(x − 2)
so we distribute 6 with x and -2
see
6x-6*2
6x-12
so the equation is
6(x − 2)=6x-12
So they both are equal
Got it? :)
