the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2l+2w, where l is the length and w is the width. How can you use distributive property to write an equivalent expression for 2l+2w?
what is 2(L+W)?
@bobpurdley what do you mean?
2 times the length times the width
I have the same question but idk the answer

To use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression for 2l + 2w, we can separate each term in the expression and distribute the common factor of 2.
First, let's distribute the 2 to the term "l":
2l = 2 * l
Now, let's distribute the 2 to the term "w":
2w = 2 * w
Applying the distributive property, the equivalent expression would be:
2l + 2w = (2 * l) + (2 * w)
Now, we can simplify the expression:
2l + 2w = 2l + 2w
Therefore, using the distributive property, the equivalent expression for 2l + 2w is (2 * l) + (2 * w).
