Question

Rewrite the expression by using the distributive property and collecting like terms 1/5(5x-15)-2x

Answer 1

-x-3

Explanation:

First, you need to distribute the 1/5 to both the term 5x and the term -15, which requires multiplication. This gives you 1x-3. The -2x can then be added on to this equation, which gives you 1x-3-2x. Combining the like terms of 1x and -2x gives you -x. The entire expression is then -x-3.
