A.
(4 x 2) × 6 = 4x (2 6)

(4 x 2) × 6 = 4x (2 x 6)

Multiply the 4 and 2 which is 8 then multiply by 6 which is  48 so that equation would look like 48 = 4x(2 x 6) Next multiply the 2 and 6 which is 12 the equation now looks like 48 = 4x(12) Next divide both sides by 12 canceling the 12 on the right.  Then divide the 48 by 12 and reduce. Which is 4. The equation looks like 4 = 4x Divide x by the 4 on the right side so x = 4/4 which is x = 1

Hope this helps you  

(Ok so I solved the equation as if the 2 and 6 were multiplied. However you did not specify you just spaced them so I am going to do if it was 26 too or help you solve it however it is supposed to be just tell me if it is wrong)

Explanation:

- "the basic difference between keywords and subjects is that subjects (or "subject headings") have been predetermined, while keywords have not. a keyword is an easy place to start because you can use any word that seems to fit your search; this is called "natural language" searching."

in the quotation from passage, connie willis states that literature is a way for authors from the past to communicate with readers of today. we can read their stories, books, and other texts to learn lessons about life. willis refers to these lessons as messages “from beyond the grave.” willis has a favorable viewpoint about the timelessness of literature.
