Please help! Will Fan and Medal :)

Use the Distributive Property to multiply. (x – 9)5 @ccswims could you help me again?

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Does it want the value of x or just the equation after you distribute?

OpenStudy (mstv1112):

All it says is to use the distibutive property to multiply so idk

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Distributive property means that you will be multiplying 5 to everything in the parenthesis so 5*x - 5*9 simplify 5*x to 5x 5x - 5*9

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Since it is not asking what the value of x is we will have to assume they want it left as equation form

OpenStudy (ccswims):

So just multiply 5*9 and 5x - whatever 5*9 equal = that will be your answer :)

OpenStudy (mstv1112):

so the answer is 5x - 45

OpenStudy (ccswims):

yes

Thank you again, Very Much appreciated :)
