Answer:
? = 8a
The other blank textbox = 35
Explanation:
You are using the distributive property which means multiplying the number in front of the parentheses to the equation within the parentheses.
The number in-front is '8' for this equation.
The equation within the parentheses is ( a + 5 )
8 ( a + 5 )
You multiply the 8 to the equation in the parentheses.
8 * a
8 * 5
8 * a = 8a
8 * 5 = 40
So,
? = 8
The other blank equals 40
