Question

Which property is used to simplify 45and + 3 (25x+75Y) to 5y + 65x?

Answer 1

Distributive property

Explanation:

The question is not properly formatted.

From the available detail, I will re-write the question as follows

`45x + 3(25x + 75y)`

Required

The property used

Distributive property is stated as follows:

`a(b \± c) = ab \± ac`

So, we have:

`45x + 3(25x + 75y) = 45x + 75x + 225y`

Evaluate like terms

`45x + 3(25x + 75y) = 120x + 225y`
