Question

Use the Distributive Property to expand 2 ( − 3 x + 5 ) .

Answer 1

-6x + 10

Explanation:

`2\left(-3x+5\right)`

Distribute

`2\left(-3x+5\right)=2\left(-3x\right)+2\cdot \:5\\2\left(-3x\right)+2\cdot \:5`

Multiply

`2(-3x)\\= 2 * (-3x)\\= -6x`

`2 \cdot 5 = 10`

Simplify

`= 6x + 10`

Answer 2

- 6 x + 10

Explanation:

2 ( - 3 x + 5 )

multiply 2 seperately into all the things inside

( - 6 x + 10 )
