please help don't get it when it sayuse the distributive propetyto rewrite the expressionand then has 10(2+y+z)
20+10y+10z (take whats before the paranthesis, 10, then multiple the 10 by each term in the paranthesis)
Yes its what Maggie R. says the distributive property is when you take whats outside of the paranthesis and multiply it with each term in the paranthesis so 10(2+y+z) is 20+10y+10Z
Sure, I'd be happy to help!
When it says to use the distributive property to rewrite the expression "10(2+y+z)," it means that you need to multiply the number outside the parentheses (in this case, 10) by each term inside the parentheses (2, y, and z).
To do this, you can distribute the 10 to each term inside the parentheses.
Let's break it down step by step:
1. Take the number outside the parentheses (10) and multiply it by the first term inside the parentheses (2):
10 * 2 = 20
2. Next, multiply the number outside the parentheses (10) by the second term inside the parentheses (y):
10 * y = 10y
3. Finally, multiply the number outside the parentheses (10) by the third term inside the parentheses (z):
10 * z = 10z
Now, putting all of these parts together, the expression "10(2+y+z)" can be rewritten as:
20 + 10y + 10z
So the final expression after using the distributive property is "20 + 10y + 10z."
