Question

The expression 2(l + w) represents the perimeter of a rectangle with length l and width w.

Which statement is true?
A. The variable 2 is being multiplied by (l + w).
B. There are two variables in the expression l and w.
C. (l + w) represents the product of two terms: l and w.
D. The expression is the quotient of two factors: 2 and (l + w).

Answer 1

A is wrong I will try to find the right answer, but A is wrong

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. The variable 2 is being multiplied by (l + w).

After "l" and "w" are added together, they are multiplied to 2, or in this case, since you do not know what the l and w equals, 2 is being distributed to the two, and so it would look like

2(l + w) = 2l + 2w
