Exercise 60 Page 10

When distributing, which terms inside the parentheses must be multiplied by the outside factor?

5m+5n+15

Practice makes perfect

Using the Distributive Property, we multiply each term inside the parentheses by 5.

5(m+3+n)
5* m+5*3+5* n

Now that we have rewritten the expression, we can simplify.

5* m+5*3+5* n
5m+15+5n
5m+5n+15

Since 5m, 5n, and 15 are not like terms, we cannot simplify further.
