Chapter 2: Q. 10 (page 84)

Use the distributive property to write an equivalent variable expression.

2x鈭�3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equivalent variable expression is 2x-6.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.  Distributive property

For any real numbers a, b, and c, the distributive property is given by:

ab+c=a路b+a路c

02

Step 2.  Example of distributive property

To evaluate the expression 34+t, distribute 3 to both the terms inside the parenthesis and remove the parenthesis sign to get

34+t=3鈰�4+3鈰�t=12+3t

03

Step 3.  Rewrite the given expression using distributive property

To write an equivalent variable expression for the given expression 2x-3, distribute 2 to both the terms inside the parenthesis and simplify further by multiplying the numbers as shown below

2x鈭�3=2鈰�x+2鈰�鈭�3=2x鈭�6

Thus, the equivalent variable expression for the given expression is 2x-6.
