Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Question

( w + 10) 12

Answer 1

To use the distributive property to remove the parentheses in the expression \( (w + 10) \cdot 12 \), you multiply each term inside the parentheses by 12.

Here's how it works:

\[ (w + 10) \cdot 12 = w \cdot 12 + 10 \cdot 12 \]

Now perform the multiplication:

\[ = 12w + 120 \]

So, the expression without parentheses is:

\[ 12w + 120 \]
