Show that the statement is true by using properties of the real numbers. 5x(y - 9) = 5xy - 45x Rewrite 5x(y -9) by multiplying 5x by each term inside the parentheses using the distributive property. Rewrite 5x(y - 9) using this property. 5x(y - 9) = (5x) -(5x) (Type the terms of your expression in the same order as they appear in the original expression.)
