Question

Use the Distributive Property to simplify the expression.

Answer 1

=15x+3

Explanation:

4+3(5x−1)+2

Distribute:

=4+(3)(5x)+(3)(−1)+2

=4+15x+−3+2

Combine Like Terms:

=4+15x+−3+2

=(15x)+(4+−3+2)

=15x+3

Answer 2

`\text{Hello there!}\\\\\text{Use the distributive property to solve for the expression:}\\\\4+3(5x-1)+2\\\\\text{Distribute the 3 to the numbers inside the parenthesis}\\\\4+15x-3+2\\\\\text{Add the numbers with no variables}\\\\15x+3\\\\\boxed{\text{Answer: 15x+3}}`
