What is 2 times 3y and 2 times -6

OpenStudy (janu16):

@joehoffy

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

6 and -12

OpenStudy (janu16):

So you have 6y-12=0 so if you adf 12 on both sides you get postive 12

OpenStudy (janu16):

Then divide 12 by 6

OpenStudy (janu16):

What do you get?

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

2

OpenStudy (janu16):

Correct

OpenStudy (janu16):

That's your final answer

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

Thanks!

OpenStudy (janu16):

Np

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

This requires the distributive property. The 2 distributes to the 3y and the -6.

OpenStudy (joehoffy):

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

It becomes 2*3y + 2*-6

OpenStudy (janu16):
