Question

Distributive property.

Answer 1

\[3xy(2x^2+xy)\]

Answer 2

I’m 16

Answer 3

almost 17, remember?

Answer 4

Thanks for reminding me. Have fun distributing.

Answer 5

Gonna call the cops on me? I dunno where to start, it seems weird.

Answer 6

Even if I wanted to call the cops (which I don't) but if I did, how would I know what address to give them? Utimately, you are your parents responsibility. I am merely guidance and support. Of course understand that even God did not make a rule that said you must be over a certain age in order to drink certain drinks. That's strictly a manmade rule.

Answer 7

Touché, how do I start?

Answer 8

Well, for starters the distributive Property still applies. You start by identifying your a, b, and c.

Answer 9

Distributive Propery is \(a(b + c) = ab + ac\)

Answer 10

a=3xy
b=2x^2
c=xy

Answer 11

The expression on the outside of the parentheses is always \(a\). The first term in parentheses is always b. The last term in parentheses is always c. Yes exactly

Answer 12

Now you may proceed from there with distribution.

Answer 13

\[6x^3+3x^2y^2\]

Answer 14

You have at least one variable missing from your final result amongst other possible errors.

Answer 15

I don’t... um... see one...

Answer 16

sigh

Answer 17

This is why you should post all your steps. Mind doing so?

Answer 18

I uh... did it mentally..

Answer 19

Yes and it is good practice to do for yourself, but when you are presenting work to others, you should show your steps explicitly.

Answer 20

The result you have on paper does not match what you posted here. Do you see that?

Answer 21

Observe the difference between what you have on paper and what you posted as your initial answer.

Answer 22

A left the y out of \[6x^3y\]

Answer 23

Yes. It is otherwise correct.
