To solve the equation \(\frac{2}{5}(x + 15) = 26\), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Eliminate the Fraction
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5. This will simplify our equation:

\[
5 \times \frac{2}{5}(x + 15) = 5 \times 26
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2(x + 15) = 130
\]

### Step 2: Distribute the 2
Next, we distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation:

\[
2x + 30 = 130
\]

### Step 3: Isolate \(2x\)
Now, we need to isolate \(2x\). We can do this by subtracting 30 from both sides:

\[
2x + 30 - 30 = 130 - 30
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2x = 100
\]

### Step 4: Solve for \(x\)
Finally, we solve for \(x\) by dividing both sides by 2:

\[
x = \frac{100}{2}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x = 50
\]

### Final Answer
The value of \(x\) is \(50\).

Sure! Here’s the solution in a simple and short format:

1. Start with the equation:
\(\frac{2}{5}(x + 15) = 26\)

2. Multiply both sides by 5:
\(2(x + 15) = 130\)

3. Distribute the 2:
\(2x + 30 = 130\)

4. Subtract 30 from both sides:
\(2x = 100\)

5. Divide by 2:
\(x = 50\)

**Final answer:** \(x = 50\)

Sure! Instead of "distribute," we can say "multiply out."

So, here’s the solution using that phrasing:

1. Start with the equation:
\(\frac{2}{5}(x + 15) = 26\)

2. Multiply both sides by 5:
\(2(x + 15) = 130\)

3. Multiply out the 2:
\(2x + 30 = 130\)

4. Subtract 30 from both sides:
\(2x = 100\)

5. Divide by 2:
\(x = 50\)

**Final answer:** \(x = 50\)

Absolutely! Here are several alternative phrases you can use instead of "distribute":

1. **Multiply out**
2. **Apply**
3. **Spread over**
4. **Expand**
5. **Disperse**
6. **Share among**
7. **Allocate**
8. **Factor in**

You can choose any of these terms depending on the context you’re using them in!
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The term "distribute" matches most closely with **c. multiply**.

In mathematical contexts, distributing typically refers to multiplying a term across terms inside parentheses (e.g., distributing 2 in \(2(x + 15)\) results in \(2x + 30\)).
