Answer:
5 ( 2 + 3x )
Step-by-step explanation:
1st step: Take the GCF of the equation 10+15x
2nd step: GCF means, taking the Greatest Common Factor out of BOTH the numbers in an equation. (GCF is 5 in this case.)
3rd step: Divide by the GCF that you got. (In this case, you have 10 +15x. You need to do 10/5, and 15x /5. (Note that ANYTHING multiplied by "x" can also be divided just like a regular number.)
4th step: Put the the number that you divided with for both numbers OUTSIDE parentheses. (Note in this case it is common.)
5th step: Check your work. PLEASE DO THIS STEP.
Check: 5( 2 + 3x )
5 x 2 = 10
5 x '3x' = 15x
So, the answer for this problem is: 5 ( 2 +3x )
Answer: 5( 2 + 3x)
Hope this helped you understand the basics of disributive property. And if you have another problem just like this, you can use the same rule as shown above. :)
