Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
- 9 (6v - 3y - 4)

Answer 1

To apply the distributive property to the expression \(-9(6v - 3y - 4)\), you need to multiply \(-9\) by each term inside the parentheses.

Here's how it works step by step:

1. Distribute \(-9\) to \(6v\):
\[
-9 \times 6v = -54v
\]

2. Distribute \(-9\) to \(-3y\):
\[
-9 \times -3y = 27y
\]

3. Distribute \(-9\) to \(-4\):
\[
-9 \times -4 = 36
\]

Now, combine all the results:
\[
-54v + 27y + 36
\]

So, the expression without parentheses is:
\[
-54v + 27y + 36
\]

Answer 3

The answer, after applying the distributive property to the expression \(-9(6v - 3y - 4)\), is:

\[
-54v + 27y + 36
\]
