Question

Distributive property

3(r+2)+5(r+t-2)?
1. 3r+6+5r+t-10
2. 3r+2+5r+5t-10
3. 3r+6+5r+5t-10
4. 3r+6+5r+t-2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Using the distributive property, we can simplify the expression as follows:

3(r+2) + 5(r+t-2)

= 3r + 3(2) + 5r + 5t - 5(2)

= 3r + 6 + 5r + 5t - 10

= 8r + 5t - 4

Therefore, the simplified expression is:

8r + 5t - 4
