Question

Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to −2(13x−15)?

23x−25

−23x−25

−23x+25

23x+25

Answer 1

-26x+30

Explanation:

Answer 2

none of these answers are right.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be

-26x+30

because you would do -2 times 13x and 2 times -15 to get -26x and 30, respectively. You would get the answer -26x + 30.
