Factor the expression 2(3)+2(5)+2(6)
Hey, I gave you that "Math is Fun" link to the distributive property.
2*3 + 2*5 = 2 ( 3 + 5 )
now you do it with all three.
To factor the expression 2(3) + 2(5) + 2(6), we can use the distributive property.
First, distribute the 2 for each term inside the parentheses:
2(3) + 2(5) + 2(6) = (2 x 3) + (2 x 5) + (2 x 6)
Then, multiply:
2(3) + 2(5) + 2(6) = 6 + 10 + 12
Finally, simplify the expression by adding the numbers:
2(3) + 2(5) + 2(6) = 28
Therefore, the expression 2(3) + 2(5) + 2(6) is equal to 28.
To factor the expression 2(3) + 2(5) + 2(6), we can use the distributive property. The distributive property states that when a number is multiplied by a sum, we can distribute the multiplication across each term in the sum.
Starting with the expression, we can apply the distributive property as follows:
2(3) + 2(5) + 2(6)
= 2 * 3 + 2 * 5 + 2 * 6
Now, we can multiply each number inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses:
= 6 + 10 + 12
Finally, we can combine the like terms:
= 28
So, the factored expression is 28.
