Respuesta :

The equivalent expression is 6 + 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,

[tex]9 - 1(3 - 6x) = 9 - 3 + 6x[/tex]

Combine the constants, 9 - 3 = 6

[tex]9 - 1(3 - 6x) = 6 + 6x[/tex]

Thus the equivalent expression is 6 + 6x
