anonymous · Answer

none I think it is either -2(-3m+5) or 2(3m-5)

@audieeeuniverse you there

To me the only one that makes sense is b

anonymous · Answer

yea sorry

anonymous · Answer

For this, you use the distributive property. Which is $$\large \sf a(b+c)=ab+ac$$

anonymous · Answer

okay

anonymous · Answer

0 is a option

anonymous · Answer

Uhh, one of those is the answer...

usukidoll · Answer

^ yeah that's what I mean, but I see a sign error in it unless the question was typed wrong. 
either the answer choice has a sign error or the question has a sign error.

anonymous · Answer

it was copy and pasted

usukidoll · Answer

now I see it... it was rearranged.

anonymous · Answer

i guess

anonymous · Answer

i dont understand it

usukidoll · Answer

use the distributive property on 
-2( 5-3m)

usukidoll · Answer

and then rearrange it. that was the problem that I'd overlooked

anonymous · Answer

-4?

usukidoll · Answer

what is -2 x 5
what is -2 x (-3m)

anonymous · Answer

-10 and 6x

usukidoll · Answer

close ... (I mean it's right, but the variable we have is m so we need to use that 
-10+6m 
and then rearrange it to look like 6m-10

anonymous · Answer

okay

usukidoll · Answer

so for -10+6m
you just have to write 6m first and then -10
so it's 6m-10

anonymous · Answer

its not a option tho its what we are looking for

usukidoll · Answer

the question is asking Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 6m - 10?

we have reached -10+6m which is the same thing but rearranged differently, so we have to rewrite it to see that -10+6m is the same as 6m-10

muscrat123 · Answer

i believe it is the 1st one, no?

usukidoll · Answer

^ it had the + sign.

anonymous · Answer

okay?

usukidoll · Answer

so we can't consider that because it was asking for something similar with 6m-10 so we need the minus sign. the first one seemed to be the option but it had a + so the sign was wrng.

usukidoll · Answer

*wrong

muscrat123 · Answer

yea i caught that 2 @UsukiDoll but the #s r right 4 the first one, so it has 2 b the 1st 1

usukidoll · Answer

it was wrong due to the sign ok... for the second one we have reached the 6m-10 but it was written as -10+6m. Just rearrange it. It's the same thing!

anonymous · Answer

usukidoll · Answer

yes...

anonymous · Answer
