Question

Using the distributive property what is 2(-5+3) as an equivalent expression

Answer 1

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Because when distrubuting first you distribute 2(-5) which gives you -10 and then you distribute 2 into 3 which is 2(3) which gives you 6. So now you have -10+6. So you can further simplify that into -4. We get -4 because -10 + 6 is -4. And the 4 is negitive because there are more negitives than positives.
