The equivalent equation after applying distributive property will be:
(2*x) - (2*5) = 56 + (6*x) - (6*5)
Further explanation:
Distributive property states that the number is distributed to the sum or difference it is being multiplied to i.e.
a(b+c) = a*b + a*c
So the given equation is:
2(x - 5) = 56 + 6(x - 5)
2 will be distributed to x-5 and 6 will be distributed to x-5
The equivalent equation will be:

Answer:
1) -184
2) 13-3(
)+4
Step-by-step explanation:
For problem number 1, Let's start by substituting all the x's for -3
So the equation will look like
p(-3)=-
+7(-3)-10
Now, lets simplify by solving the exponents
First we'll do which equals -27
Now we'll do which equals 9
So now our equation looks like
p(-3)=4(-27)-5(9)+7(-3)-10
Now, we are going to multiply all these numbers
First 4(-27) which equals -108
Now -5(9) which equals -45
And finally 7(-3) which equals -21
Now our equation looks like
p(-3)= -108-45-21-10
Now we can solve
-108-45-21-10=-184
