First, use the
Distributive Property! [?]X + [ ] = 8

Respuesta :

The equivalent expression using the property is 10x + 16 = 8

Distributive property

This a property where a value is distributed over the values in parenthesis.

Given the following expression

2(5x+8) = 8

Using the Distributive property;

2(5x + 8) = 8

2(5x) + 2(8) = 8

10x + 16 = 8

Subtract 16 from both sides

10x = 8 - 16
10x = -8

x = -8/10

Hence the equivalent expression using the property is 10x + 16 = 8
