Question

Use the Distributive Property to write an equivalent expression for x(10 + x).

Answer 1

`x^2 + 10x`

Explanation:

===========================================

We would distribute the outside 'x' into what's ever inside the parentheses.

`x(10+x)\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\rightarrow x * 10 = 10x\\\rightarrow x * x = x^2\\\\x(10+x) = 10x + x^2\\\\\boxed{x^2 + 10x} \leftarrow \text{Switch Sides}`

===========================================

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

10x + x²

Explanation:

x(10 + x) = 10x + x²
