QuestionApply the distributive property and simplify: $-3(2 x-2) =$

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to apply the distributive property to the expression. . The distributive property states that for all real numbers a, b, and c a(b + c) = ab + ac.
3. We are then asked to simplify the expression if possible.

STEP 2

First, we apply the distributive property to the expression. This involves multiplying - by each term inside the parentheses.
$-(2x -2) = - \cdot2x + - \cdot -2$

STEP 3

Next, we perform the multiplication in each term.
$-3 \cdot2x + -3 \cdot -2 = -6x +6$ So, the simplified expression is $-6x +6$ .
