Question

Use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to: 3(x + 5)

Answer 1

3x=15

Explanation:

Here's what I found on google about the distributive property-

To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something. According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

Now for the math-

3(x+5)

distribute the numbers- 3(x)+3(5)

solve- 3*5=15

3x+15
