Question

What is 1/2(10x +20y +10z) using the distributive property? also as an equivalent expression?

Answer 1

Answer:

5x+10y+5z.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

$\dfrac{1}{2}(10x+20y+10z)$

We need to find the equivalent expression by using the distributive property.

By using the distributive property, the given expression can be written as

$\dfrac{1}{2}(10x+20y+10z)=\dfrac{1}{2}(10x)+\dfrac{1}{2}(20y)+\dfrac{1}{2}(10z)$

$=5x+10y+5z$

Therefore, the required expression is 5x+10y+5z.
