Question

Rewrite in simplest terms: s, minus, 3, left parenthesis, s, plus, 6, right parenthesiss−3(s+6)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( s - 3(s + 6) \), start by distributing the -3:

1. Distribute -3:
\[
s - 3s - 18
\]

2. Combine like terms:
\[
-2s - 18
\]

So, the simplified expression is \( -2s - 18 \).
