Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

3 + 2k

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I am going to explain what the distributive property is. Lets say he had the expression a(b + c). We can "distribute" the a to the b and c:

a(b + c) = ab + ac

We can apply the distributive property to the expression 1/5(15 + 10k):

1/5(15 + 10k)

= (1/5)(15) + (1/5)(10k)

= 3 + 2k

By using the distributive property, we found the expression 3 + 2k.

I hope you find my answer helpful.
