Question Simplify the expression $-3(9x+5)+5$ by using the distributive property.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The expression is $-3(9x+5)+5$ . We need to use the distributive property to remove the parentheses3. The distributive property states that $a(b+c) = ab + ac$

STEP 2

First, we apply the distributive property to the expression $-(9x+5)$ .
$-(9x+5) = - \cdot9x + - \cdot5$

STEP 3

Now, we simplify the multiplication.
$-3 \cdot9x + -3 \cdot5 = -27x -15$

STEP 4

Finally, we add the $$ that was outside the parentheses to the result.
$-27x -15 + = -27x -10$ The expression $-3(9x+)+$ simplifies to $-27x -10$ using the distributive property.
