Use the distributive property to simplify the expression: 10(2m + 6)(1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 10(2m + 6) \) using the distributive property, you will multiply 10 by each term inside the parentheses.

Here are the steps:

1. Distribute \( 10 \) to \( 2m \): \[ 10 \times 2m = 20m \]

2. Distribute \( 10 \) to \( 6 \): \[ 10 \times 6 = 60 \]

Now, combine the results from both distributions:

\[ 10(2m + 6) = 20m + 60 \]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{20m + 60} \]
