Equivalent 5(6x+3y)
1 answer:
The equivalent expression is 30x + 15y
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to find the equivalent expression for given expression
<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>
5(6x + 3y)
We can find the equivalent expression by using distributive property
The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.
<em><u>By distributive property,</u></em>
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Therefore, in given expression 5(6x + 3y), 5 can be multiplied with both 6x and 3y
Multiply the numbers and simplify
Thus the equivalent expression is 30x + 15y

The table is missing, so i have attached it.
Also, the correct question is;
The surface area of the East China Sea is k times the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Work out the value of k.
Give your answer to the nearest whole number
Answer:
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
From the attached table,
Surface area of east china = 1.25 × 10^(6) km²
Surface area of Baltic sea = 4.22 × 10^(5) km² = 0.422 × 10^(6) km²
We are told that the surface area of East China Sea is k times that of the surface area of the Baltic Sea.
Thus;
1.25 × 10^(6) = k × 0.422 × 10^(6)
k = 1.25/0.422
k = 2.96
Approximating to whole number gives;
k = 3
