A student attempted to generate an equivalent expression using the distributive property, as shown below: 6(m + 3) = 6m + 3 What was the mistake made?
distributive property: \[\large\rm \color{Red}{a}(b+c)= \color{Red}{a} \cdot b + \color{Red}{a} \cdot c = \color{Red}{a}b+\color{Red}{a}c\] multiply both terms b and c by a
6(m + 3) multiply both inner terms by outer term
i still dont get it

A student attempted to generate an equivalent expression using the distributive property, as shown below: 6(m + 3) = 6m + 3 What was the mistake made? 6 was not multiplied by m Incorrect sign was used for the first term Incorrect sign was used for the second term 6 was not multiplied by 3
so is the answer c
?
6(m + 3) apply the distributive property you will find out the mistake ... again to distributive parentheses we should multiply both terms that are inside the parentheses by outside number
