Answer 1

Hi Stacybragon,

Answer/Solution:

Well, 9(47) can be added:

9 x (40 + 7)

But distributive property is having the same first number and factoring out the second.

(9 x 7) + (9 x 40)

Answer 2

By using distributive property the expression 9(47) is equivalent to

(9 * 40) + (9 * 7)

What's distributive property?

The distributive property of multiplication over addition is applied when you multiply a value by a sum. for example, you want to multiply 9 by the sum of 40 + 7. As we've got like terms, we usually first add the numbers and then multiply by 9.

Conclusion: However, according to the property, you can first multiply every added by 9.

=  9(47)

= 9( 40 + 7)

= (9 * 40) + (9 * 7)
