## chubbytots Group Title for each of these expressions, apply the distributive property and the other number properties to write and simplify an equivalent expression. the question will be on the inside :) one year ago one year ago

1. chubbytots Group Title

1. $\frac{ 2a + 5 }{ 5 } 2. \[10\left(\begin{matrix}2a +5 \\ 5\end{matrix}\right)$

2. chubbybunny Group Title

Isn't number 1 already simplified? For number 2, you do 10/5 which is 2. then multiply 2 to (2a+5) and you get 4a+10

3. chubbytots Group Title

$2a\left(\begin{matrix}2a+5 \\ 5\end{matrix}\right)$

4. chubbybunny Group Title

Oh ok then multiply 2a to (2a+5) which equals 4a^2+10a then divide that all by 5 you can separate this into 2 fractions [(4a^2)/5]+(10a/5) you can simplify the second fraction by doing 10/5 [(4a^2)/5]+2a

5. chubbytots Group Title

ok :) after that you'll get the answer??

6. chubbybunny Group Title

that is the simplified answer$\frac{ 4a^{2} }{ 5 }+2a$

7. chubbytots Group Title

ok :D $2\left(\begin{matrix}2a^2+5+8 \\ 5a\end{matrix}\right)$

8. chubbybunny Group Title

simplify the numerator and you get (2a^2+13). multiply 2 to the numerator and you get $4a^{2}+26$ now divide that by 5a$\frac{ 4a^{2}+26 }{ 5 }$
