Use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression.

Question

2(10t+10v−3)

Answer 1

To use the distributive property on the expression \(2(10t + 10v - 3)\), you will multiply each term inside the parentheses by \(2\).

1. \(2 \times 10t = 20t\)
2. \(2 \times 10v = 20v\)
3. \(2 \times (-3) = -6\)

Now, combine these results:

\[ 20t + 20v - 6 \]

So, the equivalent expression is:

\[ 20t + 20v - 6 \]
