QuestionUse the distributive property to remove the parentheses. 6(5+u)6(5+u)

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? We need to multiply the number outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses. Watch out! Don't forget to multiply the 6 by *both* the 5 and the uu!

STEP 2

1. Distribute the 6

STEP 3

Alright, let's **distribute** that 6!
We're going to multiply the 6 by each term inside the parentheses.
Think of it like sharing the 6 with both the 5 and the uu.
It's like handing out gifts!

STEP 4

First, let's multiply 6 by 5. 65=306 \cdot 5 = \bold{30} Great! We've got **30**!

STEP 5

Next, let's multiply 6 by uu. 6u=6u6 \cdot u = \bold{6u} Awesome! Now we have **6u**!

STEP 6

Now, let's put it all together.
We add the two results we just got: **30** and **6u**. 30+6u30 + 6u So, 6(5+u)6(5+u) becomes 30+6u30 + 6u.
We've successfully **distributed** the 6!

STEP 7

30+6u30 + 6u
