enter the missing values in the area model to find 5(2t + 4)
answer attempt 1 out of 2
according to the model above, 5(2t + 4) =
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

The distributive property states that \(a(b + c)=ab+ac\). For \(5(2t + 4)\), we multiply 5 with \(2t\) and 5 with 4.
Multiplying 5 and \(2t\) gives \(5\times2t = 10t\).
Multiplying 5 and 4 gives \(5\times4=20\).

Step2: Combine the terms

After applying the distributive property, we combine the two terms we got: \(10t+20\).

Answer:

\(10t + 20\)
