Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

- 9 (6v - 3y - 4)

3 answers

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

whats the answer

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

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