QuestionIdentify the wrong description of the expression $2(x+y)$ from the options: a, b, c, or d.

Studdy Solution
d. the product of2 and the sum of $x$ and $y$.
This is a correct description of the expression $2(x+y)$. When we say "the product of2 and the sum of $x$ and $y$", it means we add $x$ and $y$ together, and then multiply the result by2. This is exactly what the expression $2(x+y)$ represents.
The incorrect description of the mathematical expression $2(x+y)$ isb. the sum of twice $x$ and $y$.
