Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. 1/5(15+10k)

Answer 1

3 + 2k

This is because multiplying by 1/5 is like dividing each term by 5 

Answer 2

Answer: Equivalent expression is 3+2k.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$\dfrac{1}{5}(15+10k)$

As we have to use "Distributive property":

$a\times (b+c)=a\times b+a\times c$

So, it becomes

$\dfrac{1}{5}(15+10k)\\\\=\dfrac{1}{5}\times 15+\dfrac{1}{5}\times 10k\\\\=\dfrac{15}{5}+\dfrac{10k}{5}\\\\=3+2k$

Hence, equivalent expression is 3+2k.
