question
enter the missing values in the area model to find $-9(7v + 9.7)$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
according to the model above, $-9(7v + 9.7) = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply -9 by 7v

$\displaystyle -9 \times 7v = -63v$

Step2: Multiply -9 by 9.7

$\displaystyle -9 \times 9.7 = -87.3$

Step3: Sum the two products

$\displaystyle -63v + (-87.3) = -63v - 87.3$

Answer:

Missing area model values: $-63v$, $-87.3$
$\displaystyle -9(7v + 9.7) = -63v - 87.3$
