Question

Use the Distributive Property to expand the following expressions.

a.) 2 ( y + 5x) = _______________

b.) 0.4 ( x + 2) = ______________

Answer 1

Explanation:

Distributive property: a(b +c)=(a*b )+(a*c)

a) 2(y + 5x) = y*2 + 5x*2

= 2y + 10x

b) 0.4(x + 2) = x*0.4 + 2*0.4

= 0.4x + 0.8
