Two students were given the expression shown to simplify.
Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about whether each student's answer is an equivalent expression. Then choose an expression that is equivalent.

9-(3-6x)

Solution:

Given expression is:

9 - (3 - 6x)

We have to find the equivalent expression

Use the distributive property,

a(b + c) = ab + bc

Therefore, from given expression,

Combine the constants, 9 - 3 = 6

Thus the equivalent expression is 6 + 6x
