Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression –5(3x – 2).
Question 9 options:



–15x – 10



–15x – 2



–15x + 10



–15x + 2

Answer 1

The distributive property involves taking the number outside the parentheses and multiply it by each number inside the parentheses

-5(3x-2)
-5 * 3x = -15x
-5 * -2 = 10
now just put the two together and you get the answer of
-15x + 10

Answer 2

-15x + 10 would be the right answer
