Rewrite using the distributive property: 2(3+8)
Again, the multiplication sign is omitted between a number and a quantity in parentheses.
2(3+8)
= 2 * (3+8)
= 2*3 + 2*8
3X42
To rewrite the expression using the distributive property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.
In this case, we have 2 multiplied by the sum of 3 and 8.
Using the distributive property, we can distribute the 2 to each term inside the parentheses:
2(3+8) = 2 * 3 + 2 * 8
Now we can simplify the expression by multiplying:
2 * 3 + 2 * 8 = 6 + 16
Therefore, the expression 2(3+8) can be rewritten as 6 + 16.
