Question 497603
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The distributive property is:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ a(b\ +\ c)\ =\ ab\ +\ ac]


For your problem:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ a\ =\ -9]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ b\ =\ y]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ c\ =\ -9]


You can do your own arithmetic.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
