Travis said the following expressions
are equivalent because
of the distributive
property. he correct?
5r2 + 10r = 5r(r+2)

yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

hopefully this helps.

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
