Question

I'm not sure if I have the correct answer to this problem...All I have to do is use the Distributive Property to write each expression as an equivalent algebraic expression.

Here is the problem:

b(c+3d)

Is the answer:
bc+3bd

Answer 1

That's it! You're just distributing b to (c+3d).

Answer 2

oh tysm some of these problems I don't understand because we are just now learning them but i am in the advanced math class

Answer 3

I might need more help i am still working on my homework

Answer 4

Yes, you have the correct answer. To use the Distributive Property to write the expression "b(c+3d)" as an equivalent algebraic expression, you need to distribute the "b" to both terms inside the parentheses.

Here's how you can do it step by step:

1. Multiply "b" by "c": bc
2. Multiply "b" by "3d": 3bd

So, when you distribute "b" to both terms inside the parentheses, the expression "b(c+3d)" can be written as "bc + 3bd".
