What is the Distribution Property?
The distribution property in math is a process that allows an equation to be simplified to help easily solve problems. Expressions that qualify to use the distributive property are usually written in the format: a(b +c)
a is then distributed to both b and c, rewriting the equation as ab +ac, where a has been multiplied to both values.
In this problem, you can distribute -15 to both 5x and 6y.
This will leave you with and equation that resembles this:
(-15×5x) + (-15×6y)
Multiply -15 to the coefficient attached to the variable to get your answer.
Your answer is -75x + -90y or -75x-90y
