Q. Distribute to create an equivalent expression with the fewest symbols possible.6(a+2b+3c)=
Apply Distributive Property: Apply the distributive property to multiply 6 by each term inside the parentheses.The distributive property states that a(b+c)=ab+ac. In this case, we apply it as follows:\(6(a+2b+3c) = 6\cdot a + 6\cdot 2b + 6\cdot 3c
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term.Now we multiply 6 by each term:6×a=6a6×2b=12b6×3c=18c
Combine Results: Combine the results to write the final expression.The final expression, after distributing 6 over each term, is:6a+12b+18c
