Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression \(6(7+8)\).

Apply the distributive property

The distributive property states that \(a(b + c) = ab + ac\). Apply this to \(6(7+8)\): \[ 6(7+8) = 6 \cdot 7 + 6 \cdot 8 \]

\[ \boxed{6 \cdot 7 + 6 \cdot 8} \]

The rewritten expression using the distributive property is: \[ \boxed{6 \cdot 7 + 6 \cdot 8} \]
