Can you solve the inequality 2(x-3) is less than or equal to 10 without using the distributive property? explain.

Yes, without using the distributive property, we get the value for the given expression 2(x - 3)  ≤ 10  as   x ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression is:

2(x - 3)  ≤ 10

Yes, the given expression can be solved without using the DISTRIBUTIVE Property

Here, consider the given expression:

2(x - 3)  ≤ 10

Now, divide the  inequality by 2 on both sides, we get:

Now adding (+3) on both the sides, we get:

(x - 3)  ≤ 5    ⇒  (x - 3  + 3 )  ≤ 5 + 3  

or, x ≤ 8

Hence, without using the distributive property, we get the value of x ≤ 8 for the given expression 2(x - 3)  ≤ 10

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
