Question

How do you use the Distributive Property to rewrite each expression `-6a(2b+5c)`?

Answer 1

`-12ab - 30ac`

Explanation:

For this problem you "distribute" the term `-6a` across each term in the parenthesis:

`-6a(2b + 5c) -> (-6a)(2b) + (-6a)(5c) ->`

`(-6*2ab) + (-6*5ac) -> -12ab + -30ac ->`

`-12ab - 30ac`
