Question

Which equivalent equation is the result of applying the distributive property in thegiven equation?10y + 14 = 2(y-9)

Answer 1

`10y+14=2y-18`

Step-by-step explanation

The distributive property tells us that:

`a(x+y)=ax+ay`

Thus, we can apply this property to our given equation in the right side:

`10y+14=2(y-9)`
`10y+14=(2\cdot y-2\cdot9)`
`10y+14=2y-18`
