Question

Use distributive property to find the product of $-5(x-2y)$ .

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The product of $-5(x-2y)$  is  $-6x+10$ with the help of distributive property.

Step 1. Write down the given expression.

The given expression to evaluate for product using the distributive property is $-5(x-2y)$ .

Step 2. Evaluate product using the distributive property.

Evaluate product of  $-5(x-2y)$ gives,

$\begin{array}{c}-5(x-2y)=(-5)\left(x\right)-(-5)\left(2y\right)\mathrm{....}\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Distributive property}\\ a(b-c)=ab-ac\end{array}\right)\\ =-5x+10y\end{array}$

Step 3. Conclusion.

The product of  $-5(x-2y)$ is  $-5x+10y$ with the help of distributive property.
