Question

Use the Distributive property to rewrite each algebric expression.

A. 8(x + 7)

B. 6(11 + x)

C. 8(x + 1)

Answer 1

You're basically multiplying the number and the variable with the number on the outside of the parenthesis.

So, 8(x + 7). You multiply 8 and the variable to get 8x. The same with '7'.
8 times 7 is 56.

Answers:

A) 8x + 56

B) 66 + 6x

C) 8x + 8
