what is an equivalent expression for 10x+2 using distributive property
Write an equivalent expression for 3f + 4s + 2f
Answer: 2(5x + 1)
Explanation: ( means to multiply in algebraic expressions, so 2 ( 5x = 10x and 2 ( 1 = 2
Hope I explained my answer well and your welcome everyone.
Thank you so much, Unicorn! this helped me a lot
To find an equivalent expression for 10x + 2 using the distributive property, we need to apply the distribution of multiplication over addition.
The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c:
a * (b + c) = a * b + a * c
In our expression, we have 10x + 2. We can rewrite it as:
10 * x + 10 * 2
Now, we can apply the distributive property to each term:
10 * x + 20
Simplifying further, we have:
10x + 20
Therefore, an equivalent expression for 10x + 2 using the distributive property is 10x + 20.
