Question

which expression is equivalent to -2(u + 9)? (u + 9)·-2 9(u - 2) (u - 2)9 (9u)·-2

Explanation:

Step1: Apply the commutative property of multiplication

The commutative property of multiplication states that \(a\times b = b\times a\). For the expression \(-2(u + 9)\), by the commutative property of multiplication, it is equivalent to \((u + 9)\times-2\).

Answer:

\((u + 9)\cdot - 2\)
