use distributive property to write the expression without parentheses.
2(7x-5)
Using the distributive property, the expression without parentheses is:
2 * 7x - 2 * 5
This simplifies to:
14x - 10
To remove the parentheses using the distributive property, you need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.
For the expression 2(7x-5), you will multiply both terms inside the parentheses by the number 2:
2 * 7x = 14x
2 * -5 = -10
So, using the distributive property, the expression 2(7x-5) can be written without parentheses as:
14x - 10
