Question

Rewrite 6(10+2) using the distributive property. Then simply.

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} 6(10+2)=(6\cdot10)+(6\cdot2) \\ 6(10+2)=60+12 \\ 6(10+2)=72 \end{gathered}$

Explanation

the distributive property states that multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together

$a(b+c)=ab+ac$

so

Step 1

$6(10+2)$

apply the distributive property

$6(10+2)=(6\cdot10)+(6\cdot2)$

now, calculate ot simplify

$\begin{gathered} 6(10+2)=(6\cdot10)+(6\cdot2) \\ 6(10+2)=60+12 \\ 6(10+2)=72 \end{gathered}$

I hope this helps you
