Question

Use the destructive property to write an equivalent expression. 3(2h-3k+1)

Answer 1

To use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for \(3(2h - 3k + 1)\), we distribute the \(3\) to each term inside the parentheses:

\[
3(2h) + 3(-3k) + 3(1)
\]

Now we calculate each term:

- \(3(2h) = 6h\)
- \(3(-3k) = -9k\)
- \(3(1) = 3\)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[
6h - 9k + 3
\]

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

\[
6h - 9k + 3
\]
