Question

use the area model to find the product 2(5x + 1).
first, find the partial products.
now, write the product.
2(5x + 1) = 10x + 2

Explanation:

Step1: Find first partial product

Multiply 2 and \(5x\): \(2\times5x = 10x\)

Step2: Find second partial product

Multiply 2 and 1: \(2\times1 = 2\)

Step3: Add partial products

Add the two partial products: \(10x + 2\)

Answer:

\(10x + 2\)
