OpenStudy (texaschic101):
-2(a + 6) = -2 * a + (-2) * 6 = -2a + (-12) = -2a - 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think it is the second one. Using the Distributive Property, you can multiply -2 and a. You will get -2a. Then you multiply -2 and 6 and you get -12. -2a-12 :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is -2a-12 steps: -2(a + 6) = -2 * a + (-2) * 6 = -2a + (-12) = -2a - 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@texaschic101 is correct @wyq12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So the answer is -2a - 12
