We have to write an equation showing that the area written as a product is equal to the area written as the sum of the parts.
The expression is:
We can show it graphically as:
If we apply the distributive property to the expression, we get:
The terms of the sum are the areas of the triangles shown in the drawing.
Answer:
(2x+5)(x+y+2) = 2x^2+2xy+4x+5x+5y+10 = 2x^2+2xy+9x+5y+10
