Question

How do you use the distributive property to simplify `(r-5)6`?

Answer 1

See the entire simplification process below:

Explanation:

To simplify using the distributive property multiply each term within the parenthesis by `color(red)(6)`:

`(r - 5)color(red)(6)` becomes:

`(color(red)(6) xx r) - (color(red)(6) xx 5) ->`

`6r - 30`
