Question

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to −2(13x−15)−2(13x−15) ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A is correct.

$-\frac{2}{3}x +\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: $-2(\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{5})$        .....[1]

The distributive property says that:

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

Apply the distributive property in equation [1] we get;

$-2 \cdot \frac{1}{3}x + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{5}$

Simplify:

$-\frac{2}{3}x +\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, the expression that shows the result of applying the distributive property to  $-2(\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{5})$ is, $-\frac{2}{3}x +\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 2

D is the answer good luck
