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

\[ 13(q - 6) = 13 \cdot q + 13 \cdot (-6) = 13q - 78 \]

Since this result does not match the options provided, let's analyze your options.

The correct expansion is \( 13q - 78 \), and none of the options you listed correctly represent this expansion. If you are looking for similar expressions or any errors in your options, please let me know.
