Distributive property.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is No, the cube will not fit because 4 cubic feet is 48 inches, and the bookshelf is only 12 inches, Therefore, the cube is basically larger than the bookshelf. Hope this helps and sorry I’m late.
Alright, for 10, let's see 2(x+3). Use the distributive property to multiply 2 with x, which is 2x. Then, multiply 2 with 3, which is 6. Add them together to get 2x+6. For the second part, 4 times x is 4x and 4 times negative 2 is -8. Add them all up and you get 2x+6+4x-8=6x-2. Remember that you can't add a variable with other variables/just numbers, and a minus sign in front of terms in parenthesis means that everything in the parenthesis is negative!
