Question

Solve 2(x+5) using distributive properties simplify the following expression

Answer 1

Although the image has two terms inside the parenthesis rather than three terms in the question, we can apply it to this question.

The

2

multiplies to everything inside the parenthesis:

(

2

⋅

x

)

+

(

2

⋅

−

5

)

+

(

2

⋅

2

)

=

6

Now simplify by multiplying:

2

x

−

10

+

4

=

6

Combine

−

10

+

4

:

2

x

−

6

=

6

Add

6

to both sides:

2

x

−

6

+

6

=

6

+

6

2

x

=

12

Divide both sides by

2

2

x

2

=

12

2

x

=

6

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf{2x+10}}`

Explanation:

Hello.

Please remember the formula for the Distributive Property:

a(b+c)=ab+ac, where a, b, and c can be variables (letters) or constants (numbers)

Now that we know the formula for the Distributive Property, let's distribute:

2(x+5)

2x+10

I hope it helps.

Have a great day.
