Answer 3

This is distributive property. You have to multiply everything in the inside by the number on the outside.

10 * n = 10N
10 * 3 = 30

10N + 30.

@RobertOK 10N +3 is not the answer. 10 is being multiplied by both N and 3

Answer 9

Like I said, it's distributive property and the number on the outside is being multiplied to everything on the inside.
