$10 y + 10 z + 20$ $10y + 10z + 20$

Here's how I did it:

The distribute property for addition is as follows:

So let's look at our problem, $10 (2 + y + z)$ $10(2+y+z)$ :
$10 \cdot 2 = 20$ $10 * 2 = 20$

$10 \cdot y = 10 y$ $10 * y = 10y$

$10 \cdot z = 10 z$ $10 * z = 10z$

And when we combine them together we get:
$20 + 10 y + 10 z$ $20 + 10y + 10z$

We usually the expression with variables first and in alphabetical order, so I'm going to reorganize it to:
$10 y + 10 z + 20$ $10y + 10z + 20$

Hope this helps!
