Unfortunately I can not answer this question because there are no underlined digits in your question
It wants expanded form and the distributive property (something like 2(5+6b), so I would think it wants something like 7(200+50+6). This way, you're multiplying 7 by each expanded part of the number, which you would do anyway when solving like normal. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Because the 7 is used more than once.
The first step in calculating the mean is to add the numbers. After that you divide by the number of items in the data set. You don’t need to group the numbers to find the mean. Hope this helped!
