Answer 2

To use the Distributive Property to rewrite the expression \((3x−5)(2x+2)\), we need to multiply each term in the first parentheses by each term in the second parentheses.

Let's perform the multiplication step by step:

1. Multiply \(3x\) by \(2x\):
\[
3x \cdot 2x = 6x^2
\]

2. Multiply \(3x\) by \(2\):
\[
3x \cdot 2 = 6x
\]

3. Multiply \(-5\) by \(2x\):
\[
-5 \cdot 2x = -10x
\]

4. Multiply \(-5\) by \(2\):
\[
-5 \cdot 2 = -10
\]

Now, combine all the results:
\[
6x^2 + 6x - 10x - 10
\]

Combine like terms (\(6x - 10x\)):
\[
6x^2 - 4x - 10
\]

Thus, the expression \((3x−5)(2x+2)\) rewritten using the Distributive Property is:
\[
6x^2 - 4x - 10
\]

The correct response is:
**6x²−4x−10**.

Answer 3

To use the Distributive Property to rewrite the expression \(4x^2 - 36\) in a different way, we can first recognize that this expression is a difference of squares.

Notice that:
\[
4x^2 - 36 = (2x)^2 - 6^2
\]

We can use the difference of squares formula, which states that \(a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)\).

In this case, \(a = 2x\) and \(b = 6\). So we apply the formula:
\[
(2x + 6)(2x - 6)
\]

Now we can check the options given:

1. \((2x+9)(x−9)\)
2. \(4x(x−9)\)
3. \((x+18)(x−18)\)
4. \((2x+6)(2x−6)\)

The correct response here is:
**(2x + 6)(2x - 6)**.
