Yes, the distributive property can be used to rewrite the expression \( 2 \times 9 - 6 \).
The expression \( 2 \times 9 \) can be rewritten using the distributive property by factoring out a common factor. Here, you could factor out a 2:
\[
2 \times 9 - 6 = 2 \times 9 - 2 \times 3
\]
So, filling in the blanks:
\( 2 \times 9 - 6 \) equals \( 2 \) times \( 9 \) minus \( 2 \) times \( 3 \).
Thus, the completed statement is:
\( 2 \times 9 - 6 \) equals \( 2 \) \( 9 \) minus \( 2 \) times \( 3 \).
