Question

What is 8 times the sum of b and 9

Answer 1

That would be properly expressed as 8(b+9).

Answer 2

Hey there!

We can put this equation is
`distribution` form

But, lets breakdown our key points for better understanding and easier to solve


`8 = 8 \\ \\ \\ times= * \\ \\ \\ Sum = + \\ \\ \\ b =b \\ \\ \\ 9 = 9`

We got that portion out of the way now we can get our equation and our answer


`Answer: 8(b + 9)` (To solve the distribution, we can do this →
`8(b +9) \\ \\ 8(b) + 8(9) \\ \\ 8(b) = 8b \\ \\ 8(9) =72 \\ \\ WeGet: 8b + 72 (NoThisIsn'tYourAnswer)`

Your actual answer is:
`8(b+9)`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
