Use the Distributive Property to multiply. 5 (-2y + 2)

10 - 10y

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the distributive property, multiply each of the term (number) outside of the bracket with each of the terms inside the bracket. The distributive property creates a new expression that is equivalent.

The term outside is 5. The terms inside are - 2y and 2. Multiply 5 by - 2y to get the first new term. Then multiply 5 by 2 to get the second new term.

5 (-2y + 2) Distribute

= (-2y) (5) + (2) (5) Multiply. This step does not need to be shown.

= - 10y + 10 Rearrange so that it does not start with a negative sign.

= 10 - 10y Switched the two terms.

You get - 10y + 10 once you distribute the five.
