Question

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

Answer 1

`\LARGE\boxed{\sf{Hi\:there!:)}}`

The Distributive property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Let's use this property to solve our problem.

5(x+3)=5x+15

5x+15 is our final answer.

`\huge\bigstar{\boxed{\mathrm{Hope\:it\:helps!}}}`

`\huge\bf{Good\:luck!}`

`\huge\mathfrak{LoveLastsAllEternity :)}`

Answer 2

You'd multiply both by 5, so the answer is 5x+15
