To use the Distributive Property, you multiply each term inside the parentheses by the factor outside the parentheses.
Given the expression:
\[ 5(2x + 6) \]
We distribute the 5:
\[ 5 \cdot 2x + 5 \cdot 6 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ 10x + 30 \]
So, the expression \( 5(2x + 6) \) can be rewritten as:
\[ 10x + 30 \]
