Question

Which expression completes the table?

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Given

- 2.5(4x - 8) + 1.2(5x - 1)

Distribute both parenthesis

= - 10x + 20 + 6x - 1.2 → B

Answer 2

`-10x+20+6x-1.2`

Explanation:

The given expression is

`-2.5(4x-8)+1.2(5x-1)`

The missing step in the given problem is when we need to apply Distributive Property

`-2.5(4x-8)+1.2(5x-1)=-10x+20+6x-1.2`

Therefore, the right choice is B.

Remember that Distributive property is about "distributing" the outside element with each term inside the parenthesis.
