Q. Which expression is equivalent to 5(v+3)?Choices:(A) 15v+5(B) 5v+15(C) 15v(D) 8v
Apply Distributive Property: Apply the distributive property to 5(v+3). The distributive property states that a(b+c)=ab+ac. So, we need to distribute the 5 to both v and 3. 5(v+3)=5×v+5×3
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.Now we multiply 5 by v and 5 by 3.5×v=5v5×3=15So, 5(v+3)=5v+15
