enter the missing values in the area model to find $-10(8y + 5.5)$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
according to the model above, $-10(8y + 5.5) = $

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply -10 by 8y

$\boldsymbol{-10 \times 8y = -80y}$

Step2: Multiply -10 by 5.5

$\boldsymbol{-10 \times 5.5 = -55}$

Step3: Sum the two products

$\boldsymbol{-80y + (-55) = -80y - 55}$

Answer:

$-80y - 55$
(The missing values in the area model are $\boldsymbol{-80y}$ (left box) and $\boldsymbol{-55}$ (right box))
