1 answer

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

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

This simplifies to:

\[ 13q - 78 \]

However, none of the provided responses match this result. It looks like there's an error in the response options as they do not provide the correct expanded form. The correct expansion is \( 13q - 78 \).
