Answer 1

3x-3 because when you distribute, 3×x is 3x and 3×-1 is -3

Answer 2

Answer:

The distributive property allows you to say that $3(x-1)=3x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression $3(x-1)$

To find : The solution of the expression using distributive property.

Solution :

Distributive property says that $a(b*c)=ab*ac$

where,  * is the binary operations (addition , subtraction, multiplication, division)

Applying the distributive property in the given expression.

$3(x-1)$

* is the operation of subtraction

$3(x-1)=3x-3$

Therefore, The distributive property allows you to say that $3(x-1)=3x-3$
