Answer:
option B is correct
Step 1. [tex]6x - 12y + 10x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression: [tex]\frac{2}{5} (15x-30y)+10x[/tex]
Using distributive property: [tex]a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b + a\cdot c[/tex]
Apply distributive property in the given expression we get;
[tex]6x - 12y + 10x[/tex]
Combine like terms;
[tex]16x - 12y[/tex]
Now, factor a number means to break it up into numbers that can be multiplied together to get the original number
[tex]4\cdot 4x - 4 \cdot 3y[/tex]
[tex]4(4x - 3y)[/tex]
Therefore, the expression could be used step 1 as, [tex]6x - 12y + 10x[/tex]
Three steps are:
Step 1. [tex]6x - 12y + 10x[/tex]
Step 2. [tex]16x - 12y[/tex]
Step 3. [tex]4(4x - 3y)[/tex]
