Question

11. Name the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation 5(x-3)=5x-15
A) Distributive Property
B) Commutative Property
C) Inverse Property
D) Associative Property

Answer 1

5(x - 3) = 5x - 15....this is the distributive property

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A is correct

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

if $a \cdot (b+c) =a\cdot b+ a\cdot c$ for all a, b, and c.

As per the statement:

Given the equation:

$5(x-3)$

Apply the distributive property;

$5 \cdot x-5 \cdot 3$

Simplify

$5x-15$

Therefore, the property of real numbers illustrated by the equation $5(x-3)=5x-15$ is, Distributive Property
