Question

Write an expression by expanding -5(-2d + 6)

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

We are asked to "expand", rather distribute the expression.

We can Distribute due to the Distributive Property.

What is the Distributive Property?

The Distributive Property is a property that allows us to distribute the multiplier into numbers in the parentheses.

Let's distribute for this expression.

Distribute:

`-5(-2d + 6)=(-5 * -2d)+(-5 * 6)= 10d -30`

Our distributed expression is 10d - 30.
