Answer:
5b - 0.9b, distributive property
Explanation:
The expression that is used to find the price of 5 loaves of bread is given by :
5(b-0.18b)
We need to rewrite the above expression.
Distributive property : a(b+c) = ab + ac
Here, a = 5, b = b and c = -0.18b
5(b-0.18b) = 5(b) + 5(-0.18b)
= 5b - 0.9b
So, the equivalent expression is 5b - 0.9b. The distributive property was used to rewrite the expression.
