Which algebraic expression is equivalent to the expression below? 6(2x - 6)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 6(2x - 6) \), we can use the distributive property:

\[ 6(2x - 6) = 6 \cdot 2x - 6 \cdot 6 \]

Calculating each term:

\[ 6 \cdot 2x = 12x \] \[ 6 \cdot 6 = 36 \]

Putting it all together, we get:

\[ 6(2x - 6) = 12x - 36 \]

Thus, the equivalent algebraic expression is:

\[ \boxed{12x - 36} \]
