Question

2. Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to 5(-2x-3)

Answer 1

-10x-15

Explanation:

It's 10x-15, because you just need to simplify it.

It is the same thing as (5 x (-2x)) - (5 x 3), if you use the distributive property.

that is the same as -10x-15

Answer 2

-10x-15

Explanation:

So first we start off with 5(-2x-3)

Next, we distribute the 5 to the -2x to get -10x.

Next, we distribute the 5 to the -3 to get -15.

Therefore,

-10x-15 is correct
