Option B is correct.
We have the two following equations -
A. 5 = -2(x - 1)
B. 5 = -2x + 2
We have to find out how can we get Equation B from Equation A?
State the distributive property.
According to the distributive property -
a(y + z) = (a x y) + (a x z)
According to the question -
We have -
-5 = -2(x - 1)
Using the distributive property, we can rewrite the right hand side as follows -
-5 = -2(x - 1) = ( -2x ) + (2) = -2x + 2
Hence, option B is correct.
