Expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property.
5(y + 2) = 5 * y + 5 * 2 = 5y + 10
wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's try again:
5(y + 2) = (5 * y) + (5 * 2) = 5y + 10
To expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property, we will distribute the 5 to each term inside the parentheses:
5(y + 2) = 5 * y + 5 * 2
Simplifying further:
5y + 10
So, the expanded form of 5(y + 2) is 5y + 10.
To expand the expression 5(y + 2) using the distributive property, we will distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses.
The distributive property states that for any real numbers a, b, and c:
a(b + c) = ab + ac.
In this case, we have 5 multiplied by the sum of y and 2:
5(y + 2) = 5 * y + 5 * 2.
Multiplying each term inside the parentheses by 5 gives us:
5y + 10.
Therefore, the expanded form of 5(y + 2) using the distributive property is 5y + 10.
