Taia knits scarves and hats. Each scarf uses x yards of yarn. Each hat uses 80 yards of yarn.

Question

An expression that represents the amount of yarn, in yards, Taia needs to knit 3 scarves and 3 hats is shown.

3(x + 80)

Apply the distributive property to write an equivalent expression in cx + d form.

what are the values of c and d?

C = __
D = ___

Answer 1

To apply the distributive property, we need to distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

3(x + 80) = (3 * x) + (3 * 80)
= 3x + 240

Therefore, c = 3 and d = 240.
