Question

Write an equivalent expression. ​-2(7+5g)

Answer 1

−14−10g

Explanation:

First, solve the product:

-2 ⋅ 7 - 2 ⋅ 5g

Multiply -2 times 7 to -14.

So, the equivalent expression would be:

-14 - 2 ⋅ 5g = -14 - 10g

-14 - 10g

Answer 2

-2(7) + -2(5g)

Explanation:

Using the distributive property we can confirm that:

-2(7) + -2(5g) = -2(7+5g)
