Just the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent to 10 + 15x

5 ( 2 + 3x )

Step-by-step explanation:

1st step: Take the GCF of the equation 10+15x

2nd step: GCF means, taking the Greatest Common Factor out of BOTH the numbers in an equation. (GCF is 5 in this case.)

3rd step: Divide by the GCF that you got. (In this case, you have 10 +15x. You need to do 10/5, and 15x /5. (Note that ANYTHING multiplied by "x" can also be divided just like a regular number.)

4th step: Put the the number that you divided with for both numbers OUTSIDE parentheses. (Note in this case it is common.)

5th step: Check your work. PLEASE DO THIS STEP.

Check: 5( 2 + 3x )

5 x 2 = 10

5 x '3x' = 15x

So, the answer for this problem is: 5 ( 2 +3x )

5( 2 + 3x)

Hope this helped you understand the basics of disributive property. And if you have another problem just like this, you can use the same rule as shown above. :)
