Answer:
9(9m + 3t) = 81m + 27t
Step-by-step explanation:
With brackets with more than one term inside multiplied by a number;
The rule of thumb to know is that with brackets, everything inside must be multiplied by everything outside;
So, in this case, the number 9 must be multiplied by each term inside the brackets:
9 × 9m = 81m
9 × 3t = 27t
So to expand, opening the brackets, you get:
81m + 27t
