For this case we must simplify the following expression:
[tex]-2 (x-3)[/tex]
By definition we have that the distributive property establishes that:
[tex]a (b + c) = ab + ac[/tex]
So, if we have:
-2 (x-3)
We take into account the law of multiplication of signs:
[tex]- * + = -\\- * - = +[/tex]
So:
[tex]-2 (x-3) = - 2x + 2 * 3 = -2x + 6[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]-2x + 6[/tex]

We are asked to use the Distributive property to simplify this expression.
All we have to do is multiply -2 by everything inside the parentheses:
a(b+c)
-2(x-3)
-2x+6
