Question

Which expression is equivalent to 10a + 6? 10(a + 3) 2(5a + 3) 5(5a + 1) 10(a + 1)

Answer 1

Hey there!
We can factor 10a+6 to get our answer.
Remember factoring as the opposite of the distributive property
(i.e factored would by ab+ac and distributive would be a(b+c)).
We can't have a on the outside, since the second term in our expression doesn't contain an that variable.
We take our greatest common factor, or GCF, so it's factored completely.
We have:
2(5a+3).
Hopefully this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

2(5a+3).
