Darrell Ayala · Answer 1

5 (x-3) = 50 distribution the 5 to both the x and the - 3 to get the answer you started with.

Grumpy · Answer 2

The answer is 5 (x-3) = 50

Proof:

5 (x-3) = 50

5 (x) + (5) (-3) = 50 (distributive property a (b+c) = ab + ac)

5x + (-15) = 50 (integers. + / - = - )

5x - 15 = 50

Obtained by finding the GCF, which is 5, and then deciding what two terms end up with 5x and - 15.
