1. 2(f+5)
2. 4(5+6g)
3. 4(8b-5)
The key to using the distributive property is to pull out the greatest common multiple among the numbers and then leave in the parentheses the number that would give you the product of the original number. If all of the expressions above were factored out you would get the same answer as the question.
4. 2h(12-5n) + 11d
5. 2(4s+1)
When simplifying an expression first combine all like terms into one term. Then you can further simplify by using the distributive property from above and make the term even more simple.
