Consider the expression 2 3 (14x − 3) − 3x( 4 5 + 5). Which statements are true about simplifying this expression? Check all that apply. 1.Using the distributive property, the Two-thirds would be multiplied to 14x and to –3. 2.Combining Four-fifths + 5 can be done before multiplying it by 3x.
3. Using the distributive property, 3x times Four-fifths is subtracted, but the 3x times 5 is added.
4.Combining 14x – 3 can be done before multiplying by Two-thirds.
5.Subtracting 3x is the same as adding –3x.
