Question

Apply the distributive property. $$10(6 x+2)$$

Short answer

The short answer after applying the distributive property is \(60x + 20\)

Step-by-step solution

Distribute 10 to both terms inside the parentheses

Starting with \(10(6x+2)\), distribute \(10\) to \(6x\) and \(2\). This means multiplying \(10\) by each of these terms separately. So, it becomes \(10*6x + 10*2\)

Perform the multiplication

Now we just need to do the multiplication. Multiply \(10\) by \(6x\) to get \(60x\), and multiply \(10\) by \(2\) to get \(20\). So the expression becomes \(60x + 20\)
