Question

In order to solve for the variable in the equation Mikel first applies the distributive property. Which equation is a result of this step?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 - x - 2 + 2x = 10x - 25 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression: 1 - (x+2) + 2x = 5(2x - 5) - x

Applying the distributive property we get:

1 - x - 2 + 2x = 10x - 25 - x

So, the following equation is the result of that step: 1 - x - 2 + 2x = 10x - 25 - x

Answer 2

Answer:

The equation is:

$1-x-2 + 2x = 10x-25-x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that

$c(a+b) = ac + bc$

In this case we have the following equation

$1-(x+2) + 2x = 5(2x-5)-x$

Then apply the distributive property as shown below

$1-1*x-1*2 + 2x = 5*2x-5*5-x$

Now simplify the expression

$1-x-2 + 2x = 10x-25-x$

So the equation that results after applying the distributive property is:

$1-x-2 + 2x = 10x-25-x$
