Subtract these expressions
3(x+5) - (2x+5)

  1. x-15
  2. 5x + 20
  3. x + 10
  4. x+15

hintHint:

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)
    left parenthesis 4 cross times y right parenthesis plus left parenthesis 4 cross times 5 x right parenthesis
    = 4y + 20x.
    Hence, the expression 4(y + 5x) becomes 4y + 20x after it's expansion.
