Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression to 2(n + 5)

2n + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(n + 5)

= 2 * n + 2 * 5

= 2n + 10.

Hope this helps!

2n + 10

Explanation: In this problem, the 2 "distributes" through the parenthses which means that it multiplies by each of the terms inside.

So we have 2(n) + 2(5) which simplifies to 2n + 10.

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
