Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression to 45 + 30x


15(2x+3)


15(30+30x)


3(15+10x)


1/3( 135+90x)


1/2(45+30x)

Answer 1

15(2x + 3)

Explanation:

First find the greatest common factor of 45 and 30.

That's 15.

Now we factor 15 out of the expression :

45 + 30x = 15(3 + 2x)

Therefore, the answer is the first option, 15(2x + 3). Hope this helps! :)
