Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{The distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}(10x+20y+10z)=\dfrac{1}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5x+\dfrac{1}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot20\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^{10}y+\dfrac{1}{2\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}\cdot10\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^5z\\\\=5x+10y+5z$
