Question

Use the distributive property to find an equivalent expression.

5(2 + 3)
=
What is the answer

Answer 1

If you’re looking for equivalent expressions then there’s this:

5(2+3) = 5*5

5(2+3) = 10+15

If you’re looking for the answers, it’s 25. This is because 5*2=10 and 5*3=15. 10+15 is 25. Or you could add 3 and 2 (which is 5). Then 5*5= 25.

Hope this helped :)
