<u>So the answer is</u> 3/26
I drew this by hand. sorry I it does not help.
First Method (Distributive Property)
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Rearrange the equation to make it easier.
(-5) (2m - 5m)
In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).
-10m + 25m
15m
Second Method
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.
(-3m) (-5)
Multiply.
15m
15m is your answer. I hope this helps!
