Let's break down the expression [tex]\(3(-9) + 6|-6|\)[/tex] step by step.
1. Calculate [tex]\(3(-9)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
3 \times (-9) = -27
\][/tex]
2. Calculate [tex]\(|-6|\)[/tex]:
The absolute value of [tex]\(-6\)[/tex] is [tex]\(6\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
|-6| = 6
\][/tex]
3. Calculate [tex]\(6 \times 6\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
6 \times 6 = 36
\][/tex]
4. Combine the results from the steps above:
[tex]\[
3(-9) + 6|-6| = -27 + 36
\][/tex]
5. Simplify the final expression:
[tex]\[
-27 + 36 = 9
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\(3(-9) + 6|-6|\)[/tex] is [tex]\(9\)[/tex].
The best answer is:
D. 9
