Question

What is 1/2(10x +20y +10z) using the distributive property? also as an equivalent expression?

Answer 1

5x+10y+5z.

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(1)/(2)(10x+20y+10z)`

We need to find the equivalent expression by using the distributive property.

By using the distributive property, the given expression can be written as

`(1)/(2)(10x+20y+10z)=(1)/(2)(10x)+(1)/(2)(20y)+(1)/(2)(10z)`

`=5x+10y+5z`

Therefore, the required expression is 5x+10y+5z.
