Question

Complete the expressions using the distributive property and the greatest common factors.

Answer 1

25y + 30 = 5(5y+6)

-12y + 15 = -3(4y+(-5))

36y - 9 = 3(12y-3)

Explanation:

25y+30=5(5y+6) because you have to first divide 25y divided by 5, and you get 5y. Then you have to do 30 divided by 5 and you get 6.

For -12y+15=-3(4y+(-5)), you have to first divide -12y divided by -3, and you get 4y. Then you have to do 15 divided by -3 and you get -5.

You get 36y-9=3(12y-3) because you have to first divide 36y divided by 3, and you get 12. Then you have to do -9 divided by 3 and you get -3.
