please help me this problem:
5(6x + 9)
I did the last one for you. Now, it's your turn. I'll be glad to check your answer,
What's 5 *6x? What's 5 * 9? Remember to separate the two terms with the plus sign.
To solve the problem 5(6x + 9), we can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition. This property states that when we have a number multiplied by the sum of two terms, we can multiply the number by each term separately and then add the results together.
In this case, we can distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses. Multiplying 5 by 6x gives us 30x, and multiplying 5 by 9 gives us 45. Therefore, we have:
5(6x + 9) = 30x + 45
So, the solution to the given problem is 30x + 45.
