1. Vinay applied the distributive property to the equation -5(m - 2) - 25. His equation then became --5m + 10 = -125. Did he apply the distributive property correctly? Explain
Yes. When using the distributive property you need to multiply all the terms in the equation by the number that is in front of the parentheses.
No. The product of -5 and 25 is 125, not - 125.
No. Vinay also multiplied the right-hand side of the equation by --5, which is incorrect.
Yes. Vinay multiplied the terms on the left-hand side of the equation by -5, which is what you are supposed to do.
