Expand 13(q−6) using the Distributive Property.(1 point)

Question

Responses

−13q+6
negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q plus 6

−13q+2
negative Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q plus 2

13q−6
Start Fraction 1 over 3 End Fraction q minus 6

13q−2

Answer 1

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

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

Calculating that gives:

\[ 13q - 78 \]

None of the provided responses match this result, so it seems there might be a misunderstanding or miscommunication regarding the options. The correct expanded form is \( 13q - 78 \).
