-3(m+6) using distributive property

Answer 1

To apply the distributive property to the expression \(-3(m + 6)\), you multiply \(-3\) by each term inside the parentheses:

\[ -3(m + 6) = -3 \cdot m + -3 \cdot 6 \]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[ -3m - 18 \]

So, the expression \(-3(m + 6)\) simplifies to:

\[ -3m - 18 \]
