standard_description: Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.
problem_activity: Task
Nina was finding multiples of 6. She said,
18 and 42 are both multiples of 6, and when I add them, I also get a multiple of 6: $$18+42 = 60.$$
Explain to Nina why adding two multiples of 6 will always result in another multiple of 6.
