Use the distributive property to write the following sum as a product. 10*1+10*y

Answer 1

Hi, Sierra.

The Distributive Property says that a(b + c) = (a x b) + (a x c), where a,b and c are any real numbers.

So, that means that (10 x 1) + (10 x y) = 10(1 + y)

Answer 2

The distributive property allows you to multiply a number on the outside of a parenthesis by everything inside the parenthesis. Since both parts of the equation have a 10 multiplier, you can rewrite it as 10(1+y).
