Question

Using the distributive property to write an equivalent expression that has no grouping symbols2(n+3)

Answer 1

`2n+6`

Explanation:

The distributive property of multiplication with respect to addition (or subtraction) is that by which two or more numbers of a sum (or subtraction), multiplied by another number, is equal to the addition (or subtraction) of the multiplication of each term of the addition (or subtraction) by the number.

In this case, we have the following expression:

`2\cdot(n+3)`

If we apply the distributive property it would be:

`2\cdot n+2\cdot3=2n+6`
