Responses
5y + 10
5 y plus 10
6y + 7
6 y plus 7
5y + 2
5 y plus 2
6y + 10
5y + 10
To expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property, you need to multiply 5 by both terms inside the parentheses.
So, 5(y + 2) = 5 * y + 5 * 2 = 5y + 10.
Therefore, the expanded form is 5y + 10.
To expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property, you need to distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses.
So, you multiply 5 by y: 5y
And you multiply 5 by 2: 5(2) = 10
Now, combine the results:
5y + 10
Therefore, the correct answer is 5y + 10.
