Given:
3/5 ( 3y + 15)
Determine the equivalent expression.
Solution:
In order to determine the equivalent value of the expression, we simply needed to distribute 3/5 to each value inside the parenthesis, when we distribute a value this simply means that we will multiply 3/5 to each value inside the parenthesis.
= 3/5 (3y + 15)
= 9/5 y + 45/5
= 9/5y + 9
Final answer:
= 9/5y + 9
