Apply the Distributive Property.

a^2+7a+10

Practice makes perfect

We want to simplify the expression by multiplying the binomials. To do so, we will apply the Distributive Property.

(a+2)(a+5)

Distribute (a+2)

a(a+2)+5(a+2)

Distribute a

a^2 + 2a + 5(a+2)

Distribute 5

a^2 + 2a + 5a + 10

Add terms
