Which expression is equivalent to 6(m−9) ?

Responses

6m−54
6 m minus 54

6m−9
6 m minus 9

6m−3

6(m−9) can be simplified by distributing the 6 to the terms inside the parentheses.

6(m−9) = 6m − 6(9)

6m − 54

Therefore, the expression equivalent to 6(m−9) is 6m−54.

−12(b+2)+3b

To simplify the expression −12(b+2)+3b, we can start by distributing the -12 to the terms inside the parentheses:

-12(b+2) + 3b = -12b - 24 + 3b

Next, we can combine like terms by adding the b terms:

-12b - 24 + 3b = -9b - 24

Therefore, the simplified expression is -9b - 24.
