question
use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression.
2(10t + 10v - 3)
answer
attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

The distributive property states that \(a(b + c - d)=ab + ac - ad\). Here, \(a = 2\), \(b=10t\), \(c = 10v\), and \(d=3\). So we multiply 2 with each term inside the parentheses:
\(2\times10t+2\times10v - 2\times3\)

Step2: Calculate each product

Calculate \(2\times10t = 20t\), \(2\times10v=20v\), and \(2\times3 = 6\). Then combine the terms:
\(20t + 20v-6\)

Answer:

\(20t + 20v - 6\)
