Question 9 Unsaved

Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression - 5 (3x - 2).

Question 9 options:

-15x - 10

-15x - 2

-15x + 10

-15x + 2

-15x + 10 would be the right answer

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
