Answer 1

The property that can be used to expand the expression $5\left(\frac{3x-6}{7}\right)$ is the Distributive Property.

Using the Distributive Property, you can distribute $5$ to both terms in the fraction:

$$5(\frac{3x}{7}-\frac{6}{7})=\frac{15x}{7}-\frac{30}{7}$$

So the correct response is Distributive Property.
