Question

What is 2(8+24) or how do you solve?

Answer 1

Distribute 2 to the inside of the parenthesis. So 2 x 8 and 2 x 24, then add the two solutions together

Answer 2

First, you need to do order of operations.

Order of Operations is PEMDAS.

Parenthesis.
Exponents.
Multiplication/Division
Addition/Subtraction.

As we see, you first must do whats in the parenthesis, so 8+24.

8+24=32

Now, the equation is 2(32). Multiply 2 by 32 to get your answer.
