Question

Write an expression that is equivalent to 3/5 (3y+15).

Answer 1

3/5 (3y+15)
= 3/5 (3y) + 3/5 (15)
=9/5y +9
=9(1/5y + 1)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{9}{5}y+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 3 and 15 are divisible by 3, hence we can factorize 3 form the term in the parenthesis,

$\frac{3}{5}(3y+15)=\frac{3}{5} \cdot 3 (y+5)=\frac{9}{5}(y+5)$

distribute $\frac{9}{5}$ and we get

$\frac{9}{5}(y+5)=\frac{9}{5}y+9$
