Given:
The given equation is
[tex]1-(x+2)+2x=5(2x-5)-x[/tex]
Mikel first applies the distributive property.
To find:
The resulted equation of this step.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]1-(x+2)+2x=5(2x-5)-x[/tex]
According to the distributive property,
[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
Using distributive property, we get
[tex]1-(x)-(2)+2x=5(2x)+5(-5)-x[/tex]
[tex]1-x-2+2x=10x-25-x[/tex]
Therefore, the resulted equation after distributive property is [tex]1-x-2+2x=10x-25-x[/tex].
