Question

What algebraic property is demonstrated in the

equation below?
5 + 3(2x - 7) = 5 + 6x - 21​

Answer 1

The distributive property

Explanation:

We know that distributive property states a(b+c)=ab+ac. We can see that 3 is distributed to expression (2x-7) as

5+3(2x-7)=5+3*2x+3*-7

5+3(2x-7)=5+6x-21
