Use the destructive property to write an equivalent expression. 3(2h-3k+1)

1 answer

To use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for \(3(2h - 3k + 1)\), we distribute the \(3\) to each term inside the parentheses:

\[ 3(2h) + 3(-3k) + 3(1) \]

Now we calculate each term:

  • \(3(2h) = 6h\)
  • \(3(-3k) = -9k\)
  • \(3(1) = 3\)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[ 6h - 9k + 3 \]

Thus, the equivalent expression is:

\[ 6h - 9k + 3 \]
