Answer 4

Someone please explain how I would start doing this

Answer 5

start with distributive property
\[\huge\rm \color{Red}{a}(b+c)\]
distribute the parentheses by outside number \[\large\rm \color{Red}{a} \times b + \color{Red}{a} \times c = \color{Red}{a}b+\color{Red}{a}c\]

Answer 8

@Nnesha In step B of 17, I know they just multiplied the parentheses, would I just say that?

@Nnesha Also for 17 A I put "distribute the parentheses with the distributive property", would that be correct?

Answer 10

look at the last one
distributive property
that's what they used for first question (a)
\[\large\rm \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(1+2t)=\frac{ 1 }{ 2} \times 1 + \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \times (2t)\]

Answer 11

for 17 a just write *distributive property
