Question

Distribute minus, 6, left parenthesis, 7, x, plus, 9, right parenthesis, .−6(7x+9)

Answer 1

To distribute \(-6\) into the expression \( (7x + 9) \), follow these steps:

1. Multiply \(-6\) by \(7x\):
\[
-6 \cdot 7x = -42x
\]

2. Multiply \(-6\) by \(9\):
\[
-6 \cdot 9 = -54
\]

Now, combine the results:

\[
-6(7x + 9) = -42x - 54
\]

So, the distributed expression is:
\[
-42x - 54
\]
