Question

Use the distributive property to expand 5(6 + x).

Answer 1

5x + 30

Explanation:

5(6 + x)

30 + 5x

So, the answer is 5x + 30

Answer 2

To expand 5(6 + x) using the distributive property, we multiply 5 by each term inside the parentheses:

5(6 + x) = 5(6) + 5(x)

Simplifying the right side by multiplying, we get:

30 + 5x

Therefore, 5(6 + x) = 30 + 5x.
