What are equivalent expressions for
6(y-1)?
6y-6
Distributive property
To find equivalent expressions for 6(y-1), we can use the distributive property. The distributive property states that when you multiply a number by a sum or difference in parentheses, you can distribute the number separately to each term inside the parentheses.
In this case, we have 6 multiplied by (y-1). To find an equivalent expression, we can distribute the 6 to both terms inside the parentheses.
Distributing 6, we get:
6(y-1) = 6 * y - 6 * 1
Simplifying further, we get:
6(y-1) = 6y - 6
Therefore, two equivalent expressions for 6(y-1) are 6y - 6.
