Question

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression 1/5(2a-15b+5/6c)+7b.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2/5a + 4b + 1/6c

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute 1/5 throughout the parentheses (multiply it by each term enclosed in the parentheses) --> this gives you 2/5a -3b + 1/6c + 7b
2. Then you just combine like terms to get your answer. In this case, the only like terms you need to combine are -3b and 7b to get -3b
