Answer 1

I don't see the original expression — could you paste it? Meanwhile, here are the four choices simplified so you can match them to the original:

- A: 6(−x + 3) = −6x + 18
- B: −6(x − 3) = −6x + 18
- C: −6(−x + 3) = 6x − 18
- D: −6(x + 3) = −6x − 18

So:
- If the original expression is −6x + 18 (or 6(3 − x)), A and B are equivalent.
- If it is 6x − 18, C is equivalent.
- If it is −6x − 18, D is equivalent.

Tell me the original expression and I’ll pick the correct letter.
