Question

use properties of operations to complete the equivalent expression.
8(y + 2) = _y + _

8(y + 2) = \square y + \square

Explanation:

Step1: Apply Distributive Property

The distributive property states that \( a(b + c) = ab + ac \). For \( 8(y + 2) \), we distribute 8 to both \( y \) and 2.
So, \( 8\times y + 8\times 2 \).

Step2: Calculate Each Term

Calculate \( 8\times y = 8y \) and \( 8\times 2 = 16 \).

Answer:

\( 8(y + 2) = \boldsymbol{8}y + \boldsymbol{16} \)
