Given the equation:
6(2 + 5t)
Solve using distributive property.
Solution:
In order to solve using the distributive property, we simply need to distribute or multiply 6 to each value hinside the parenthesis.
= 6( 2 + 5t)
= 12 + 30t
If we are asked to solve for the value of t, we transpose 12 to the other side of the equation and divide both sides by 30 in order to determine the value of t. Hence we just take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
30t = -12
30t/30 = -12 / 30
t = -6/15
Final answer:
Simplified answer = 12 + 30t
t = - 6/15
