Expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property.
A. 6y + 7
B. 5y + 10
C. 5y + 2
D. 6y + 10
To expand 5(y + 2) using the distributive property, we distribute the 5 to both terms inside the parentheses.
5(y + 2) = 5y + 5(2)
Simplifying further:
5y + 10
Therefore, the expanded form is 5y + 10.
The correct option is B. 5y + 10.
