The cost of three different types of school supplies for five students is represented by the expression 5(7x-3y+6z). What is an expression equivalent to 5(7x-3y+6z) that results from using the distributive property?

Answer 1

First, distribute the 5 to each term inside the parentheses:

5(7x) - 5(3y) + 5(6z)

This simplifies to:

35x - 15y + 30z

So, an expression equivalent to 5(7x-3y+6z) using the distributive property is 35x - 15y + 30z.
