Question

When I'm expanding a problem by using distributive property like for example 2(7+5x)=(2×7)+(2×5x) would it be multiplication or addition when I'm expanding

Answer 1

we have

2(7+5x)

Applying distributive property

`\begin{gathered} 2\mleft(7+5x\mright)=2\cdot7+2\cdot5x \\ =14+10x \end{gathered}`

therefore

the answer is

14+10x

is multiplication
