Question

Write a pair of equivalent expressions using distributive property

Answer 1

The distributive property "distributes" a number through all numbers/terms in a set of parentheses by multiplication.


EXAMPLES
Equivalent expressions are the first and last steps. The middle step just shows the work.

5(2 + 3x)= (5*2) + (5*3x)= 7 + 15x

4(2x + 4y)= (4*2x) + (4*4y)= 8x + 16y

10(4x + 5)= (10*4x) + (10*5)= 40x + 50


ANSWER:
Only one pair below is needed for your answer.

5(2 + 3x)= 7 + 15x

4(2x + 4y)= 8x + 16y

10(4x + 5)= 40x + 50


Hope this helps! :)
