The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c, a(b+c) = ab + ac.
Using the distributive property, we can simplify -3(m+6) as follows:
-3(m+6) = (-3 * m) + (-3 * 6)
= -3m - 18
Using the distributive property, we can simplify -3(m+6) as follows:
-3(m+6) = (-3 * m) + (-3 * 6)
= -3m - 18
Grouping all the terms with 'a' together:
5a - 9a
Grouping all the terms with 'c' together:
-8c + 3c
Grouping all the terms with 'b' together:
B + 6b
Combining like terms in each group:
5a - 9a = -4a
-8c + 3c = -5c
B + 6b = 7b + B
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
-4a - 5c + 7b + B
-3(m+6) = -3 * m + (-3 * 6)
Multiplying -3 by m gives you -3m, and multiplying -3 by 6 gives you -18. Therefore, the simplified expression is:
-3(m+6) = -3m - 18
First, distribute the -3 to both terms:
-3(m+6) = -3 * m + (-3) * 6
Now multiply each term:
-3 * m = -3m
-3 * 6 = -18
So the simplified expression is:
-3(m+6) = -3m - 18
