The correct way to rewrite the expression (3x-1)(x-4) using the Distributive Property is:

3x(x) + 3x(-4) + (-1)(x) + (-1)(-4)

This simplifies to:

3x^2 - 12x - x + 4

Combining like terms:

3x^2 - 13x + 4
Use the Distributive Property to find which expression is equivalent to 9x^2-25

9x(x-25)

(3x+5)(3x-5)

(3x+5)^2

(4.5x+12.5)(4.5x-12.5)
To rewrite the expression 9x^2 - 25 using the Distributive Property, we need to find an expression that factors the given expression into two terms.

The expression equivalent to 9x^2 - 25 using the Distributive Property is (3x+5)(3x-5).
Use the Distributive Property to verify which expression is equivalent to (x-5)(x-3)

x^2-2x+15

x^2-8x+15

3x^2-4x^2-3x-15

2x-2
To verify which expression is equivalent to (x-5)(x-3) using the Distributive Property, we can expand the given expression by multiplying each term from the first factor (x-5) by each term from the second factor (x-3).

(x-5)(x-3) = x(x) + x(-3) + (-5)(x) + (-5)(-3)
= x^2 - 3x - 5x + 15
= x^2 - 8x + 15

Therefore, the expression equivalent to (x-5)(x-3) using the Distributive Property is x^2 - 8x + 15.
Which expression is equivalent to (z+4)(z-4)

z^2+4z-4z-16

z^2-8z-16

z(z)+4z(z)-4(4)

2z^2-z^2-8
The expression equivalent to (z+4)(z-4) using the Distributive Property is:

(z+4)(z-4) = z(z) + z(-4) + 4(z) + 4(-4)
= z^2 - 4z + 4z - 16
= z^2 - 16

Therefore, the expression equivalent to (z+4)(z-4) is z^2 - 16.
What is another way to write the expression 2(x+1)(x+2)

2x^2+5x+2

x^2+6x+2

2x^2+3x+2

2x^2+6x+4
Another way to write the expression 2(x+1)(x+2) is:

2x(x) + 2x(2) + 1(x) + 1(2)

This simplifies to:

2x^2 + 4x + x + 2

Combining like terms:

2x^2 + 5x + 2

Therefore, the correct expression is 2x^2 + 5x + 2.
