2(x+3y) Sketch a model of the algebraic expression.

Write an equivalent expression using the distributive property.

Explain how you know that the models and expressions are equivalent.
​

2(x) + 2(3y) the distributive property

2x + 6y the model

the model and expression are equivalent because, when you solve it straight forward, you get a right answer and when you solve it using the distributive property too, you will get the same answer

true? is that what you're asking or do you mean something else?
