1 answer

To expand \( 13(q - 6) \) using the Distributive Property, we multiply 13 by each term inside the parentheses:

\[ 13(q - 6) = 13 \cdot q + 13 \cdot (-6) \]

Calculating each term gives:

\[ 13q - 78 \]

So the expanded expression is:

\[ 13q - 78 \]

Looking at your responses, it seems that the correct expansion is not listed among the options provided. The closest response would be "13q−6," but regretfully that is not correct as it does not reflect the correct expansion. The correct expanded form is 13q - 78.
