Expressions can be simplified by breaking it down into several sub expressions.
The equivalent expressions are: [tex]\mathbf{10s= 2 \times 5s }[/tex] or [tex]\mathbf{10s= 5s \times 2}[/tex] or [tex]\mathbf{10s= 5s + 5s}[/tex]
The original expression is:
[tex]\mathbf{Expression = 10s}[/tex]
Express 10s as 5s + 5s
[tex]\mathbf{10s= 5s + 5s}[/tex]
Apply distributive property
[tex]\mathbf{10s= 5s(1 + 1)}[/tex]
Add 1 + 1
[tex]\mathbf{10s= 5s \times 2}[/tex]
Rewrite as:
[tex]\mathbf{10s= 2 \times 5s }[/tex]
Hence, the equivalent expressions are: [tex]\mathbf{10s= 2 \times 5s }[/tex] or [tex]\mathbf{10s= 5s \times 2}[/tex] or [tex]\mathbf{10s= 5s + 5s}[/tex]
