Use the distributive property to find the product.
( 28 + 10) × 2
and your thinking is...?
its half way here... I was actually checking to see if I had it right. but i got 38x2 or 38 squared
The way your problem reads, it's 38 times 2 or 38 * 2.
If it were squared, it would look like this: 38^2
Correct me if I'm wrong
( 28 + 10) × 2
38 × 2
= 76
You are correct, Shannon. Go to the head of the class.
To use the distributive property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number outside the parentheses.
In this case, we have (28 + 10) × 2.
First, we distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
28 × 2 + 10 × 2.
This simplifies to:
56 + 20.
Finally, we add the two terms together:
56 + 20 = 76.
Therefore, the product of (28 + 10) × 2 is 76.
