Which expression shows the result of applying the distributive property to 3(15x−17) ?


3/5x−3/7


−3/5x−3/7


3/5x+3/7


−3/5x+3/7

Verified Answer :

You just multiply 3 by both 15x and -17. None of these choices are correct. The only correct application would be A.

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{3}{7}\)  

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

\(3(\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7})\)

Applying the distributive property

\(3(\frac{1}{5}x-\frac{1}{7})=3(\frac{1}{5}x)-3(\frac{1}{7})\\ \\=\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{3}{7}\)
