Question

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression.
6, left parenthesis, 9, s, plus, 9, right parenthesis
6(9s+9)

Answer 1

To use the distributive property on the expression \( 6(9s + 9) \), you multiply \( 6 \) by each term inside the parentheses:

\[
6(9s) + 6(9)
\]

Now calculate each part:

1. \( 6(9s) = 54s \)
2. \( 6(9) = 54 \)

Now combine these results:

\[
54s + 54
\]

So, the equivalent expression using the distributive property is:

\[
54s + 54
\]
