Expand Expressions Using Distributive Property

Find the equivalent expression for5(a + 6)

• 5a+6

• 5a+30

• a+30

• 5a-30

Answer explanation

To simplify, distribute 3 to both terms inside the parentheses: 3x - 12. Then, combine like terms with the 2x term to get 5x - 12.

Expand: -5(m - 6)

• -5m - 6

• -5m + 30

• -5m - 30
