Q. Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.

\newline

(3-8 y) \cdot(-2.5)=

Understand distributive property: Understand the distributive property. The distributive property states that $a(b + c) = ab + ac$ . In this case, we will distribute $-2.5$ to both $3$ and $-8y$ .
Apply to first term: Apply the distributive property to the first term. $\newline$ Multiply $-2.5$ by $3$ . $\newline$ $-2.5 \times 3 = -7.5$
Apply to second term: Apply the distributive property to the second term. $\newline$ Multiply $-2.5$ by $-8y$ . $\newline$ $-2.5 \times -8y = 20y$
Combine results: Combine the results from Step $2$ and Step $3$ . $\newline$ The equivalent expression is $-7.5 + 20y$ .
