Question

$$5(x-2)-y(x-2)$$

Evaluate

$\left(5-y\right)\left(x-2\right)$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $5$ by $x-2$.

$$5x-10-y\left(x-2\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $y$ by $x-2$.

$$5x-10-\left(yx-2y\right)$$

To find the opposite of $yx-2y$, find the opposite of each term.

$$5x-10-yx-\left(-2y\right)$$

The opposite of $-2y$ is $2y$.

$$5x-10-yx+2y$$
