Question

Use the Distributive Property to simplify the expression. 9(x + y + 5)

Answer 1

9x+9y+45

Explanation:

To break it down:

9 x x = 9x

9 x y = 9y

9 x 5 = 45

Add these all together and you get 9x+9y+45

Answer 2

9x + 9y + 45

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Simplify the given expression.

The property we use,

→ Distributive property.

The expression is,

→ 9(x + y + 5)

Let's simplify the expression,

→ 9(x + y + 5)

→ 9(x) + 9(y) + 9(5)

→ (9 × x) + (9 × y) + (9 × 5)

→ 9x + 9y + 45

Hence, answer is 9x + 9y + 45.
