Question

5(3x + 6) please help

IK it's not hard its just confusing ​

Answer 1

5(3x + 6) is an example of a distributive property.

Distributive properties have:

`\bullet \ \ \tex\text{Two or more terms inside the parenthesis [i.e., (a + b)]}`

`\bullet \ \ \tex\text{A term multiplying with all the terms inside the parenthesis.[i.e., a(b + c})]`

To simplify a distributive property:

1. Multiply the term outside the parenthesis with the terms inside the parenthesis. [i.e., a(b + c) = (a × b) + (a × c]
2. Simplify the terms inside the parenthesis. [i.e., (ab) + (ac)]
3. Open the parenthesis. [i.e., ab + ac]

Step-by step calculations:

`\bullet \ \ 5(3x + 6)`

`\bullet \ \ (5 * 3x) + (5 * 6)` [1]

`\bullet \ \ (15x) + (30)` [2]

`\bullet \ \ \boxed{\bold{15x + 30}}` [3]

Answer 2

`\boxed{\sf{15x+30}}}`

Explanation:

It is only necessary to use the distributive property to solve this problem.

Distributive property:

`\sf{A(B+C)=AB+AC}`

5(3x+6)

`\sf{5\left(3x+6\right)=5*3x+5*6}`

Then, solve.

5*3=15

5*6=30

= 15x+30

To get the correct answer, don't forget to include the variable.

So, the correct answer is 15x+30.
