Question

Write 2x X(5y-y)/2 in a simplified form

Answer 1

The answer is 4xy

Explanation:

Rewrite the division as a fraction.

`(2x⋅(5y-y) )/(2)`

Cancel the common factor of 2.

x ⋅ (5y - y)

Subtract y from 5y.

x ⋅ (4y)

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

4xy

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if you included an extra x so I'm including two answers with the work.

The answers are 4 x^ 2 y and 4 x y.
