enter the missing values in the area model to find $-2(4.1p + 8)$
answer attempt 1 out of 2
according to the model above, $-2(4.1p + 8) = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply -2 by 4.1p

$(-2) \times 4.1p = -8.2p$

Step2: Multiply -2 by 8

$(-2) \times 8 = -16$

Step3: Sum the two products

$-8.2p + (-16) = -8.2p - 16$

Answer:

Missing area model values (left to right): $-8.2p$, $-16$
$-2(4.1p + 8) = -8.2p - 16$
