Which expression is equivalent to: 25a + 5b - 13

Q:
Which expression is equivalent to: 25a + 5b - 13
Accepted Solution
A:
25a + 5b - 13
5(5a + b) - 13 is your answer
using the distributive property, we can distribute 5 to all terms within the parenthesis:
5(5a + b) - 13 = 25a + 5b - 13
5(5a) = 25a
5(b) = 5b
25a + 5b - 13 = 25a + 5b - 13 (True)
hope this helps
