You calculate an answer by multiplying each side by each other. hope this helps.
No, the expressions –0.5(3x 5) and –1.5x 2.5 are not equivalent.
Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent.
