Exercise 3 Page 378

Be careful with negatives when distributing.

1/5g - 2

Practice makes perfect

We are asked to rewrite the given expression using the Distributive Property. To do so, we need to distribute 15 to the terms inside the parentheses.

1/5(g-10)
1/5[g+(- 10)]
1/5(g) + 1/5(- 10)
1/5g + [- 1/5(10)]
1/5g + [- 10/5]
1/5g + [- 2]
1/5g - 2
