Question

Equivalent 5(6x+3y)

Answer 1

The equivalent expression is 30x + 15y

Solution:

Given that we have to find the equivalent expression for given expression

Given expression is:

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.

By distributive property,

a(b + c) = ab + ac

Therefore, in given expression 5(6x + 3y), 5 can be multiplied with both 6x and 3y

$\rightarrow 5(6x + 3y) = 5 \times 6x + 5 \times 3y$

Multiply the numbers and simplify

$\rightarrow 5(6x + 3y) = 5 \times 6x + 5 \times 3y = 30x + 15y$

Thus the equivalent expression is 30x + 15y
