Question

integer operations quiz
simplify the following by using distribution:
2(7y - 5)
○ 14y − 10
○ 4y
○ −14y + 10
○ −10y + 14

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

The distributive property states that \( a(b + c)=ab+ac \). For \( 2(7y - 5) \), we distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses.
\( 2\times7y-2\times5 \)

Step2: Calculate each term

Calculate \( 2\times7y = 14y \) and \( 2\times5=10 \). So the expression becomes \( 14y - 10 \).

Answer:

A. \( 14y - 10 \)
