the answer would be 11 1/3
First Method (Distributive Property)
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Rearrange the equation to make it easier.
(-5) (2m - 5m)
In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).
-10m + 25m
15m
Second Method
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.
(-3m) (-5)
Multiply.
15m
15m is your answer. I hope this helps!
Less. If you multiple 1 2/5 by $2.99 you would get about $4.19. If you multiple 2 3/10 by $2.99 you would get about $6.88. If you add those together, you would get $11.07, which is less than $12.
