Which expression is equivalent to the expression below? Select all that apply.

-2/5(15 - 20d + 5c)

1. -30 + 40d - 10c
2. -6 + 8d - 2c
3. -2c + 8d - 6
4. 6 - 3d + 2c

Answer 1

2 and 3

Explanation:

To simplify this expression, you will need to use the distributive property.

Multiply -2/5 by 15 = - 6, -2/5 by -20d = 8d, and -2/5 by 5c = -2c.

you can switch these around to get -6 + 8d - 2c and -2c + 8d - 6.

Hope this helps :)
