Question

Write an equivalent expression for 5(2x + y - 3z) by modeling and using the distributive property.

Answer 1

Answer:

$10x + 5y - 15z$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(2x + y - 3z)$

To get the equivalent expression we apply distributive property

a(x+b)= ax+ab

Using distributive property we distribute the number inside the parenthesis  Distribute 5 inside the parenthesis

5 times 2x becomes 10x

5 times y becomes 5y

5 times -3z becomes -15z

$5(2x + y - 3z)$

$10x + 5y - 15z$

Answer 2

The answer is 10x + 5y - 15z
