The distributive property, in this case, is to multiply the number outside the parenthesis by the numbers and characters inside the parenthesis:


11 (x - 5)
11x - 55 → Simplified expression.



Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Hi! I hope you're enjoying your day!

Do you remember what the Distributive Property states?

That's right, a(b+c)=ab+ac (we distributed a by multiplying it times b and c)

Now, simplify:

11(x-5)

Distribute 11 by multiplying it times x and -5:

11 times x = 11x

11 times -5=-55

Hence, the answer is

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\bold{11x-55}}}[/tex]

Hope everything is clear.

If you have any questions, please comment.
