SOLUTION: ab(a+b) = (ab)a + (ab)b = a(ab) + (ab)b = (a x a)b + a(b x b) = a^2b + ab^2

Algebra ->  Distributive-associative-commutative-properties -> SOLUTION: ab(a+b) = (ab)a + (ab)b = a(ab) + (ab)b = (a x a)b + a(b x b) = a^2b + ab^2      Log On

: ab(a+b) = (ab)a + (ab)b
= a(ab) + (ab)b
= (a x a)b + a(b x b)
= a^2b + ab^2 This question is from textbook Algebra 1
