Question

use the area model to multiply 4(10m - 15). first, find the partial products.
10m -15
4 image of two rectangles
now, write the product.
4(10m - 15) = blank
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Find first partial product

Multiply 4 and \(10m\): \(4\times10m = 40m\)

Step2: Find second partial product

Multiply 4 and \(-15\): \(4\times(-15)= - 60\)

Step3: Combine partial products

Add the two partial products: \(40m+(-60)=40m - 60\)

Answer:

\(40m - 60\)
