Never mind use the distributive property

OpenStudy (gabebae):

\[12 + 6y - 9\] Simplify \[3 + 6y\]

OpenStudy (girlmeetsworld):

@YoungStudier any ideas on how to help me understand better?

OpenStudy (gabebae):

12+3(2y-3) ignore the 12 and distribute the 3

OpenStudy (girlmeetsworld):

i know that but its still confusing me.

OpenStudy (gabebae):

How?

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

What you're going to do first is multiply the 3 by everything in the parentheses, can you do that for me?
