Question

Simplify to create an equivalent expression 5+7(8r-2)

Answer 1

5+56r-14=56r-9. The correct answer will be D.56r-9.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$5+7(8r-2)$

Using distributive property, the above expression can be written as

$5+7(8r)+7(-2)$                $[\because a(b+c)=ab+ac]$

$5+56r-14$

On combining like terms we get,

$56r+(5-14)$

$56r+(-9)$

$56r-9$

The expression 56r-9 is equivalent to the given expression.

Therefore the correct option is D.
