Question
Subtract these expressions
3(x+5) - (2x+5)
- x-15
- 5x + 20
- x + 10
- x+15
Hint:
Try distributive property on the first term and then rearrange and add/subtratct like terms
The correct answer is: x + 10
3(x+5) - (2x+5)
= 3x+15 – 2x – 5
= x +10

Use the distributive property to expand the expression: 4(y + 5x)
Given Expression:
4(y + 5x)
Since, the given expression is in the form of a(b+ c) we can apply Distributive Law which yields ab+ ac as a result.
Similarly, By applying the Distributive Law to 4(y + 5x):
4(y + 5x)
=
= 4y + 20x.
Hence, the expression 4(y + 5x) becomes 4y + 20x after it's expansion.

Expand 2(8y + 15)
Given Expression:
2(8y + 15)
Since, the given expression is in the form of a(b+ c) we can apply Distributive Law which yields ab+ ac as a result.
Similarly, By applying the Distributive Law to 2(8y + 15):
