A. 5= -2(x- 1)

B. 5 = -2x+2
1) How can we get Equation B from Equation A ?
Choose 1 answer:
A)Rewrite one side (or both by combining like terms

B)Rewrite one side or both using the distributive property

C)Multiply divide both sides by the same non-zero constant
D)Multiply divide both sides by the same variable expression

Answer 1

`\Large \boxed{\mathrm{B}}`

Explanation:

`\sf 5 = -2(x - 1)`

Applying the distributive property.

We distribute the -2 to the terms in the brackets on the right side of the equation to get Equation B.

`\sf 5 = -2(x) -2(-1)`

`\sf 5 = -2x + 2`

To get Equation B from Equation A, we rewrite one side or both using the distributive property.
