2(8+h) simplify using distrubtive property

Hello there!

2(8 + h)
The Distributive Property allows us to multiply any number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all numbers/variables inside the parenthesis.

For example;
2(1 + 2)
2(1) + 2(2)
2 + 4
6.

Let's try this with our current problem.
2(8 + h)
2(8) + 2(h)
16 + 2h (This is your simplified expression)

I hope this helps!
