Use the distributive properlty to solve 8 (x+y)

Question

how to solve 8 (x + y) using distributive property 

Answer 1

technically, because there is no equal sign, there is nothing to "solve", but we can use the distributive property to simplify this:

8(x+y) becomes 8x + 8y.

 

We do this by DISTRIBUTING the 8 to the x and the y
