Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses -6(5v-x-2)what is the answer?

Answer 1

-6(5v-x-2) = -30v+6x+12

Here, we want to use the distributive property to remove the parentheses

In using the distributive property, we are going to multiply every term inside the parentheses with the term outside; then, we proceed to replace the addition or subtraction present

We proceed as follows;

$\begin{gathered} -6(5v-x-2) \\ -(6\times5v)+(x\times6)+(2\times6) \\ -30v\text{ + 6x +12} \end{gathered}$
