Answer 1

The property that can be used to expand the expression \( 5(3x - 67) \) is the **Distributive Property**.

This property states that \( a(b + c) = ab + ac \) or \( a(b - c) = ab - ac \), which allows us to distribute the outer factor (in this case, 5) to each term inside the parentheses.

So, you can expand the expression to \( 5 \cdot 3x - 5 \cdot 67 \).
