Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

If you use the distribution property, then you can write it out like 9 x y + 9 x 5. That is the same as 9y+45.

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

if you distribute the 9 into the parenthesis you get 9y + 45. Therefore, both equations are equivalent seeing that they both equal to 9y + 45.
