Question

10+3 (1+w)

Answer 1

10+3+ 3w
13+3w

Answer 2

I'm just guessing, I'm really bad at math.

Answer 3

How did you get 3w?

Answer 4

you multiply 3 to 1 and 3 to w, which gives you 3+3w

Answer 5

Ok thanks!

Answer 6

no prob :)

Answer 7

its called the distribution property of multiplication

a( b + c) = a b + a c

Answer 8

That's what it's called!! I remembered the steps, but couldn't recall the name. Man I'm an idiot.

Answer 9

well the name isnt that important, its the concept that is important

Answer 10

I guess you're right

Answer 11

could you explain this to me please? @completeidiot Im
not very good at it

Answer 12

10+3* (1+w)

the first step is distributing the 3
using the distribution property

3*( 1+w) is equal to 3 * 1 + 3 * w

(the stars are multiplication signs)

3* 1 = 3 and 3*w = 3w

so 10 + 3(1+w) becomes

10 +3 +3w

Answer 13

from this step, you need to combine like terms
the only like terms we can combine are the 10 and 3

10+3 = 13

so 10+3 + 3w becomes

13 +3w
