Question

Select from the drop-down menu to correctly identify the property shown. (−3.4+(−9.2))+(−5.6)=−(3.4+9.2)+(−5.6)

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:
 (-3.4 + (- 9.2)) + (- 5.6)
 Applying the distributive property we can rewrite the expression.
 The distributive property consists in multiplying the values that are inside a parenthesis, by a value that is outside the parentheses.
 Therefore, the value outside the parenthesis is -1.
 We have then:
 - (3.4 + 9.2) + (- 5.6)
 Answer:
 Distributive property.
