Write the letter for the correct answer in the blank at the right of each question.
1. Use the Distributive Property to write 2(-5 + 3) as an equivalent expression.
What is the value of the expression?
A. 2(8); 16
C. 2(-5) + 2(3); -4
B. 2(-5) + 3; 13
D. (5 + 3)2; 16
2. Add (-x + 4) + (3x + 2).

Answer 1

Option C - 2(-5)+2(3) ; -4

Explanation:

Distributive property means breaking up the factors and multiplying them separately

So here we have 2(-5+3) = 2(-5)+2(3) = (-10)+(6) = (-4)

So (-4) is the value.

Hope this helps you.
