Distributive Property help needed.

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

ok whats the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the picture attached.

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

ok what do you think is missing in the second to last equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not even sure where to start here.

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

ok so the equation is \[2*4.1+2*10.5\] right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

ok do you know how to rewrite an equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's 29.2, and yeah.

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

no rewrite it not answer it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know, but just in case that answer would be helpful in any way. Yes, I know how to re-write an equasion.

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

ok then rewrite the equation if you don't mind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which one this one? 2∗4.1+2∗10.5

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21. x+8.2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on, no that isn't right

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

ok what is the right

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

heres a hint, it they give you the first part already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh gosh, I got lost in that equasion, I'm really bad at math. I don't understand anything in that question at all, actually. My math book is useless.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can usually rewrite equations easily, but this is the 25th question out of a 30 question test (all algebra, distributive properties and long devision) and I think my brain just quit haha

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

lol ok to rewrite it you would have to put the 2 on the outside of the parenthesis

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

so now you are left with \[2(4.1+10.5)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should I solve that?

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

yea and then you'll get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, for both blank spots?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to different answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, LOL nevermind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh my god that was so stupid sorry

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

the first blank spot is 10.5 and the second one is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I know LOL omg sorry

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

its ok i do that sometimes also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks a lot for all of your help!

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

no problem
