Question

Answer 2

@Peaches15 @nincompoop

Answer 3

if anyone dose not know then do you now anyone who can help???

Answer 5

here we can to compute the left side as below:
6(5+3)=6*5+6*3=...?

Answer 6

I got a different solution.

Answer 7

what would that be and just to let you now my computer is acting up on me

Answer 8

hint:
if I simplify the left side, I get:

\[\Large 30 + 18 = 30 + 6y\]
now I subtract at both sides 30, so I can write this:
\[\Large 30 + 18 - 30 = 30 + 6y - 30\]
please simplify

Answer 9

This problem is an exercise on the distributive property.

\(\Large a(b + c) = ab + ac\)

Here is an example with numbers:

\(\Large 3(4 + 7) = 3 \cdot 4 + 3 \cdot 7\)

You take the number outside the parentheses, and you multiply it by both numbers inside the parentheses. You separate the two multiplications by the same operation that is inside the parentheses.

Answer 10

i so far got 18=6y is that correct @Michele_Laino

Answer 11

Now let's look at your problem:

\(\Large 6(5 + 3)\)

Let's apply the distributive property to it:

\(\Large 6(5 + 3) = 6 \cdot 5 + 6 \cdot \_\_\)

What goes in the blank?

Answer 12

so 3=y

Answer 13

yes! now, please I divide both sides by 6, so I get:
\[\Large \frac{{18}}{6} = \frac{{6y}}{6}\]
again, please simplify

Answer 14

so 3=y

Answer 15

correct!
