Question

34) Apply the distributive property to simplify the expression. 5(3x − 7) A) 15x + 35 B) 15x − 35 C) −15x + 35 D) −15x − 35

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $15x-35$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to simplify the expression $5(3x-7)$ using distributive property.

Distributive property states that we can multiply a quantity to sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products as:

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

Using distributive property, we will multiply 5 by $3x$ and $-7$ as:

$5\cdot 3x-5\cdot 7$

$15x-35$

Therefore, the simplified form of the given expression would be $15x-35$ and option B is the correct choice.
