Question

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
(8x-10)1/2=

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 4x - 5

Explanation:

`(8x -10)(1)/(2)`

Distributive property, this property allows us to multiply two terms separately. That means that in this problem
`(1)/(2)` will multiply the first term, and after that the second term. One half multiply 8x and also - 10.

`(8x)/(2) - (10)/(2)`

Simplify and result

`4x - 5`
