3*10 = 2*10 + 1*10
Just like 3a = 2a + 1a

3x10=(2x10)+(1x?)
The first step is to multiply to solve inside the parenthesis
3x10=(2x10)+(1x?)
30 = (20) + (1x?)
Next subtract 20 from both sides
30-20=20-20+(1x?)
10=1x?
Any number multiplied by 1 is itself therefore the answer is 10
?=10

Hi Shannon;
3x10=(2x10)+(1x_)
What I believe this is...
3x10=2x10+1x?
?=10
3x10=2x10+1x10
x10 is a single unit.
It is as single as x.
Just as 2x+x=3x, so too does 2x10+1x10=3x10
If I have incorrectly understood the question, please let me know.
