Question

5(a-2b)-3(a-2b)

algebra2 .-.

Answer 1

5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b)    |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac

= 5a - 10b - 3a + 6b

= (5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)

= 2a - 4b

Answer 2

Formula  $a(b - c) = ab - ac$

$5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b)$  

$5a - 10b - 3a + 6b$

$(5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)$

$2a - 4b$
