Expand the following expression.

5.6(23 - 3.17x)
A.
17.752 + 128.8x
B.
28.6 - 8.77x
C.
128.8x - 17.752
D.
128.8 - 17.752x

Respuesta :

For this case we have that by definition, the distributive property establishes that:

[tex]a (b + c) = ab + ac[/tex]

We have the following expression:

[tex]5.6 (23-3.17x)[/tex]

We apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses:

[tex]5.6 * 23-5.6 * 3.17x =\\128.8-17.752x[/tex]

Finally, the expression is equivalent to:

[tex]128.8-17.752x[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]128.8-17.752x[/tex]

Option D
