Question

The expression 2(l + w) represents the perimeter of a rectangle with length l and width w.

Answer 1

A. The variable 2 is being multiplied by (l + w).

After "l" and "w" are added together, they are multiplied to 2, or in this case, since you do not know what the l and w equals, 2 is being distributed to the two, and so it would look like

2(l + w) = 2l + 2w
