Question

Find area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

remember the distributive property:
a(b+c)=ab+ac

area=length times width
area=(2y+1) times 22
area=22(2y+1)
area=22(2y)+22(1)
area=44y+22


the area is 44y+22 square miles or mi²

Answer 2

multiple 22 by (2y+1) to get
22(2y+1)

apply distributive property
22(2y)+22•1

multiple

answer is 44y+22
