Rewrite each product below using the distributive property then simplify

This is what the distributive property looks like: a(b + c) = ab + ac    (you multiply the outside number by each number on the inside of the parentheses)an example using numbers: 3(27 + 18) = 81 + 54    (3 * 27 = 81 and 3 * 18 = 54)that is how you apply the distributive property. now all that's left is to simplify. using the same example: 81 + 54 = 135    (pretty simply, you just add the numbers)it may seem trickier when there are variables involved, but it's really the same process, you just may have to use properties of equality to isolate the variable: 5(10x + 65) = x(30 + 15)50x + 325 = 30x + 15x    (apply the distributive property)50x + 325 = 45x              (combine like terms)50x = 45x - 325                (subtract 325 from both sides)5x = - 325                        (subtract 45x from both sides)x = -65                              (divide both sides by 5)i hope this .
