Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression. ( 1 -2g +4h)x5

Answer 1

`x^5-2gx^5+4hx^5`

Explanation:

The given expression is
`(1-2g+4h)x^5`

The distributive property is given by

`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Using the distributive property, distribute x^5 over the parenthesis

`1\cdotx^5-2g\cdotx^5+4h\cdotx^5`

On simplifying, we get

`x^5-2gx^5+4hx^5`

Therefore, the equivalent expression is
`x^5-2gx^5+4hx^5`
