An image that visually represents the mathematical process of the distributive property. Picture a whiteboard with a clear depiction of the formula '5(2x-8)' being properly distributed: the '5' multiplies each term inside the brackets resulting into '10x-40'. The visuals include light rays indicating the element '5' distributing to both '2x' and '-8', resulting in a distributed equation. However, ensure the image does not contain any text.

Rewrite the expression using the Distributive Property.

5(2x-8)

a. -30x
b. 10x-40***
c. 10x+40
d. 10x-8

For everyone looking at this for connexus the answers are

1 : c

3 : b
4 : a
5 : d

1 : c

2 : a
3 : b
4 : a
5 : d

Yeah OKAY is right i got 100% thanks

Yes, you're right.

how did you get 10x-40

100%

Yes OKAY is 100% Right thank you!

@OKAY omg thxxxx

aye gklookin cuhkzo

okay is right

Okay is still right as of 2023

Responding to legacy, the way they got 10x-40 is that our problem that we are simplifying is 5(2x-8), and what we do is use our number on the outside of the parenthesis. Like 2x multiplied by 5 is 10x and 8x5 gives us 40. so when we rewrite we get 10x-40. Hope this helped anybody who was wondering!
