Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for: 6(4y+3)
Please explain how you got your answer
To use the distributive property, we need to multiply each term in the parenthesis by the number outside the parenthesis.
In this case, the number outside the parenthesis is 6, and the terms inside the parenthesis are 4y and 3.
So, we can multiply 6 by both 4y and 3 separately.
First, we multiply 6 by 4y:
6 * 4y = 24y
Next, we multiply 6 by 3:
6 * 3 = 18
Therefore, the equivalent expression using the distributive property is:
24y + 18
6(4y+3)
= 24y + 18
