Question

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent equation


(1-2g+4h)x5

Answer 1

Answer:

$5-10g+20h$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

$(1-2g+4h)\times 5$

We have to apply the distributive property to the above expression to obtain an equivalent expression.

Distributive property:

• The distributive property helps multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.

• Distributive property helps us to make the calculations easier.
• We can apply distributive property  the following manner in the given expression.

$(1-2g+4h)\times 5\\=(1\times 5) - (2g\times 5) + (4h\times 5)\\=5-10g+20h$

is the required expression.
