Question

Simplify.

5(v - 3) - 7v

Answer 1

Answer:

-2v -15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 5(v - 3)-7v

2. 5v -15 - 7v (opening brackets)

3. -2v -15

Answer 2

Answer:

$\Large\boxed{-2v-15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN:

Isolate by v from one side of the equation.

SOLUTIONS:

First, you can also used distributive property.

$\Large\boxed{\textnormal{DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY}}$

$\displaystyle A(B+C)=AB+AC$

Expand by using with distributive property.

5(v-3)

A=5

B=v

C=3

Rewrite the problem down.

$\displaystyle 5v-5*3$

Multiply.

$\displaystyle 3*5=15$

$\displaystyle 5v-15$

$\displaystyle 5v-15-7v$

Solve.

You have to combined like terms. (Group like terms!)

$\displaystyle 5v-7v-15$

Add/subtract numbers from left to right.

Add/subtract elements from left to right numbers.

$\displaystyle 5v-7v=\boxed{-2v}$

$\Large\boxed{-2v-15}$

Therefore, the correct answer is -2v-15.
