Question

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression
5(3 +x) – 2

Answer 1

5(3 +x) – 2 = (5+3)*(5+x)

(8-2)*(5x-2)

6*5x-2

this Is what I came up with.

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer: 5x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: →
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

Expand the form.

`5(3+x)`

multiply by 5*3.

`5*3=15`

`=15+5x`

`15+5x-2`

Simplify by equation or expand.

`15+5x-2=5x+13`

Hope this helps!
