Question

use the area model to find the product 2(5x + 1). first, find the partial products. 5x 1 2 now, write the product. 2(5x + 1) =

Explanation:

Step1: Find first partial product

Multiply 2 and \(5x\): \(2\times5x = 10x\)

Step2: Find second partial product

Multiply 2 and 1: \(2\times1 = 2\)

Step3: Add partial products

Add \(10x\) and 2: \(10x + 2\)

Answer:

\(10x + 2\)
