Question

2 (b-5) choose all that apply 1. 5 (b-2. 2. 2b-5. 3. (b-5)2 4. 2b-10

Answer 1

The given expression is

2(b - 5)

We would open the parentheses by multiplying each term inside the parentheses by the term outside. This is known as the distributive property. We have

2 * b + 2 * - 5

= 2b - 10

Also, by changing the position of the term outside the parentheses, the polynomial remains the same. This means that

(b - 5)2 is the same as 2(b - 5)

Thus, the correct options are C and D
