Question

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

−t − 6

−t + 6

t + 6

6t − 6

Answer 1

first step is to distribute \(-6(1+t)\) do you know what you get ?

Answer 2

-6
and -6t

Answer 3

that is right
so now you have \(5t-6t-6\) combine like terms

Answer 4

5t?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

\(5t-6t=-t\)

Answer 7

so you are left with \(-t-6\)

Answer 8
