question
use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression?
6(r + 3s)
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall distributive property

The distributive property is \(a(b + c)=ab + ac\). Here, \(a = 6\), \(b=r\), \(c = 3s\).

Step2: Apply distributive property

Multiply 6 with each term inside the parentheses: \(6\times r+6\times3s\).
Simplify the products: \(6r + 18s\).

Answer:

\(6r + 18s\)
