Question

Use the Distributive Property to write an expression that is equivalent to 10 (a + b)

Answer 1

10a + 10b

Explanation:

Using the method of FOIL (First Outside Inside Last) write this in expanded form:

⇒ First multiply 10 with "a"

=> 10 (a + b)

⇒ Then multiply 10 with "b"

=> 10 (a + b)

⇒ Combine both together:

=> 10a + 10b

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

10a + 10b

Multiply 10 for the variables in the parentheses
