The distributive property "distributes" a number through all numbers/terms in a set of parentheses by multiplication.
EXAMPLES
Equivalent expressions are the first and last steps. The middle step just shows the work.
5(2 + 3x)= (5*2) + (5*3x)= 7 + 15x
4(2x + 4y)= (4*2x) + (4*4y)= 8x + 16y
10(4x + 5)= (10*4x) + (10*5)= 40x + 50
ANSWER:
Only one pair below is needed for your answer.
5(2 + 3x)= 7 + 15x
4(2x + 4y)= 8x + 16y
10(4x + 5)= 40x + 50
Hope this helps! :)
