Hello there!
What is a distributive property?
Well, a distributive property help us not to get confuse when we are multiplying an outside number to the other ones inside.
How does it work? Well...see the steps below :)
0.19(b + 5000)
Use the distributive property
(0.19)(b) + (0.19)(5000) got it?
The answer is
0.19b + 950
I hope this answer helps. As always, it is my pleasure to help student like you.
