Chapter 1: Problem 38

Use a form of the distributive property to rewrite each algebraic expression without parentheses. $$6(3 x-2)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The algebraic expression \(6(3x - 2)\) without parentheses is \(18x - 12\).

Step by step solution

01

Distribute the 6 to the term 3x

Multiply 6 by 3x to get \(18x\).
02

Distribute the 6 to the term -2

Now multiply 6 by -2 to get \(-12\). Keep the negative sign as is after the multiplication.
03

Write the final result

After distributing, combine the two results \(18x\) and \(-12\) to get the final answer \(18x - 12\). This final expression is equivalent to the original expression, but without parentheses.
