Question

Which equivalent equation is the result of applying the distributive property in thegiven equation?10y + 14 = 2(y-9)

Answer 1

Answer

$10y+14=2y-18$

Explanation

The distributive property tells us that:

$a(x+y)=ax+ay$

Thus, we can apply this property to our given equation in the right side:

$10y+14=2(y-9)$$10y+14=(2\cdot y-2\cdot9)$$10y+14=2y-18$
