Rewrite the expression in the simplest form without parentheses:
6(18 – y)
6(18 – y)
108 - 6y
Oh okay so all you did was multiply 18 and 6 to get 108... but why did (y)get tied to 6?...Can you show me the steps on how to write the expression
The problem shows that you have to multiply both terms within the parentheses by 6.
okay thank you Ms. Sue
You're welcome, Hannah.
To rewrite the expression 6(18 - y) without parentheses, we need to distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses.
To do this, we multiply 6 by each term:
6 * 18 = 108
6 * -y = -6y
Putting it together, the simplified expression is:
108 - 6y
